Chapter Thirty-Seven: Cameron Wantanabe Becomes a Power Ranger
(And Megan Finds Out That Lothor's Her Fake Uncle)

Date: January 12, 2004

Kimberly Oliver was getting used to the frequent calls from Blue Bay Harbor. Tori Hansen, Dustin Brooks, Cam Wantanabe, and even on occasion Shane Clark called at least once a week each. The only reason they called the house was because Megan never charged her cell phone so it was off the majority of the time. Kimberly did like Megan's friends from Blue Bay and found them to be very polite. And Megan seemed happier when they called, so it all worked out.

She was fairly certain that Tori and Cam – no she was certain – that they called so often because they wanted to keep Megan alert to how soon Lothor would be defeated. Dustin just liked to "geek out" to Megan (Megan's words) about all of the stuff that came with being a Ranger.

Tommy, on the other hand, was not getting used to the frequent calls from Blue Bay Harbor. And he was usually the one to answer the phone when they called due to the fact that he didn't have to work at Crane Gymnastics.

"Hello, this is the Oliver residence."

"Hi Dr. Oliver, this is Tori. Is Megan there?"

"Yes," Tommy said.

"Is it for me?" Megan asked as she ran into the room before Tommy had a chance to go and find her.

"Tori," Tommy said, thrusting the phone at her and walking away scowling.

"Hey Tor," Megan said. "What's up? Did Blake finally ask you out? Or did you ask him out?"

"Neither," Tori said, though there was a trace of a grin in the sentiment. "Cam's a Power Ranger!"

"What?!" Megan asked, her eyes going wide. "How is that even possible?"

"There was time travel involved," Tori explained.

"Time travel? I love time travel. Except for the fact that Jen Scotts needs to get her butt back to this time and marry Wes Collins," Megan growled.

Tori, used to the nonsensical ravings her friend frequently made that involved prior Power Ranger teams and couples, ignored Megan and continued. "This is kind of a long story. But we ended up getting drained of our powers by yet another of Lothor's goons—,"

"Do you know how frequently Power Rangers get drained of their powers or have them removed period?" Megan asked.

"No but I'm sure you'll tell me later. After I finish the story," Tori said.

"Yeah, okay."

"We got drained of our powers and Cam decided to use the Scroll of Time against his father's wishes to go back in time and find a strong power source. He gave us the short rundown of what happened so I can only tell you what he told us about the past. There's some pretty amazing stuff in it."

"Okay, continue please. I will be amazed at the appropriate times," Megan said, leaning against the kitchen counter.

"Cam ended up meeting Sensei in the past—,"

"What?!" Megan screeched. "You don't do that. Oh God. He totally just screwed up the timeline and we're all going to die and then Jen and Wes will never get married because there's the whole problem of the time stream being screwed up."

"Do you seriously listen to yourself speak sometimes?" Tori asked after a minute.

"Okay. Panicking is done. If the time stream was screwed up we'd be dead by now and we wouldn't be having this conversation. You can continue," Megan said calmly.

"So Cam met Sensei and he was taken into the Academy as a new student. He also met Kiya, his dad's twin brother. Did you know his dad had a twin brother?"

"No idea," Megan said. "I wonder if Mom and Dad knew about that."

"Know, Meg. Know. You're parents may or may not know, not knew. They aren't dead they're just trapped in a stasis pod or something up on Lothor's ship," Tori said.

"I know that. You know I have bad grammatical skills."

"Good point. So Cam meets his uncle who he never knew he had and then there's this other student, Miko. She had this green amulet which got stolen sometime during the day. Cam got set up and decided to take the blame for it, but Sensei figured out that his brother did it. Apparently Kiya had been training with dark ninja magic. Kiya and Cam fought and the amulet gave Cam a boost of power. Miko told Cam to keep the amulet as it had found its rightful owner. The Sensei back then banished Kiya, but he announced his new name before he was banished. Guess what his name was?"

"I don't think I like the direction this is going," Megan said warily.

"You won't. Kiya is Lothor. Lothor is Cam's uncle!"

Megan stared blankly for a minute.

"Meg? Are you there? You're not screaming yet," Tori said.

"I'm absorbing the fact that my fake older brother's uncle is Lothor. This makes my fake uncle Lothor. Crap," Megan said.

"He's not your fake uncle," Tori said. "It doesn't work that way. Anyways, Cam came back to this time and saved the day. He's the Green Samurai Power Ranger thanks to the Samurai Amulet. But then Lothor decided to send down more goons and we split up. Cam got stung and began to turn into an insect."

"Just like Uncle Carlos! Only he was the Black Ranger when it happened. But he was the Green Ranger. Ooh! I should do a study on all of the bad things that happen to the Rangers and how it correlates with others who wear the same color. I don't think Uncle Tommy ever started to turn into a bug," Megan said.

"Focus Megan, I'm trying to tell you the story," Tori said.

"Right, right. Go on. Cam's turning into a bug."

"Cam managed to find the monster that did it and had him retract the venom. Cam is in no danger of becoming an insect right now. And when he got back, we surprised him with his own ninja attire. Green trim of course."

"That's fantastic," Megan said. "He's always wanted to be a ninja. His dad just wouldn't let him. It's funny that the Amulet was always meant to go to him."

"What do you mean?" Tori asked.

"Well Miko was his mom, so it was his Mom's and she lost it before he was born obviously. Technically it was lost before his parents were married. It's a family heirloom. It would only settle into the hands of one of the family. And he manages to go back in time and find both of his parents and have the Amulet choose him," Megan mused. "Interesting the way family dynamics work."

"Hi," Hunter said, leaning against the doorjamb. "Can we help you?"

"No, we're going to help you," Megan grinned.

"And what does that mean?" Blake asked from behind his brother.

"Megan thinks you should move into Ops," Kim said. "And I agree, if this is where you're living."
