Not much to say as of now... So...
Anyway... the Disclaimer...
Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers Ninja Storm or it's characters. All I own is Celea and a few other OCs... and the Academy she goes to, and it's moves.
Third Person
"I can't believe this!" Dustin walked into Storm Chargers holding a box full of motor oil, "I ask for Four-Stroke Oil, and they send me this Two-Stroke stuff." He threw the container he was holding into the box, "Bah! What am I supposed to do with that?!"
Kelly, Celea, and Shane laughed from where they were leaning against the kitchen counter.
"What? What's so funny?" Dustin asked them, still a bit annoyed.
"Hey, look… forget about the oil." Shane instructed as they walked over to him.
"And pack your bags." Celea added as she patted his shoulder as she and Shane walked into the TV room.
"Why? Where we going?" Dustin looked back at them. The two skateboarders just kept grinning.
"You wanted to Freestyle? Well guess what? You're gonna get your chance." Kelly walked over to him, holding a sheet of paper, "Fill it out and sign it." She handed him the paper. "We have to get it in straightaway if you wanna make the deadline."
Dustin read the paper over and his eyes slowly widened, "This is for the US Action Games!" Kelly just kept grinning. "Are you serious?!"
"Yeah. And, by the way, under 'Sponsor' write Storm Chargers." Kelly instructed as she walked away.
"'Sponsor'?!" Dustin repeated with joy then turned to the others, and held up the paper, "Hey did you two know about this?"
"We're going too!" They climbed up the seats, then turned to him, grinning still, "For Skateboarding baby! Yeah!"
"Awe, yeah!" Dustin cheered with them.
Tori walked in, and Dustin was too excited to stop now.
"Hey Tori! Ah! Check it out!"
"Oh, Kelly's sponsoring you to go to the US Action Games in Freestyle." She stated.
"Yeah." Dustin smiled, "How'd you know?"
"Ty showed me this morning." Tori smirked as she walked into the TV room.
"Ah." Dustin nodded before the brothers walked in.
"Hey." Blake nodded to him.
"Hey guys!" Dustin jumped in front of them, "Guess what!"
"Yeah, I know, US Action Games, right?" Blake smirked. Dustin's smile slowly faded. Something's not right.
"What?" Dustin questioned them, as he walked into the TV room, "Wait, so… let me get this straight… everybody knew except for me?" He put the box of oil down as he looked at them. "Is that about right?"
"Yeah, that's about right." Celea smiled as the brothers sat beside her.
"Yeah, I hate that." Dustin grunted as he sat down he then smiled again, and hit Blake's knee, "Hey, didn't you test today for Roger Hannah, for the Factory Blue sponsorship?"
"I'm sorry, Factory Blue sponsorship?" Celea looked at the brothers, "All you said was it was testing in front a sponsor. You didn't say it was that big."
"Didn't want you to get your hopes up." Hunter shrugged, and Celea hit his shoulder.
"I do not." She resented.
"How'd it go?" Shane prompted.
"Alright, there was this photographer there from 'Dirt Works' Magazine." Hunter started, leaning forward, "Said he hasn't seen anyone test that fast since McGrath in '91!" He hit his brother's shoulder.
"Yeah!" Celea cheered.
"So what's the deal?" Dustin asked.
"Well, Factory Ride if I want it." Blake smiled.
"That's awesome." Tori praised.
"And why wouldn't you want it?" Dustin questioned.
"Come on, don't you think I'm a little busy 'round here?" Blake reasoned.
"Ah…" Celea inhaled sharply, "True..." She nodded.
"Yeah, but how could you pass up an opportunity like that?" Shane replied.
"That's what I told him." Hunter nodded.
2 hours later...
The rangers, all packed and ready to leave, were in the Bike Shop getting some finishing touches done on the Racing Ranger's bikes.
"Uh… question." Tori walked up to them, causing all of them stop what they were doing to look up at her, "Did any of you guys happen to tell Sensei that we're going to the Action Games?"
They all looked at their leader. "Uh-Oh… not me."
"Hey and what about Cam?" Dustin asked, getting all of them to look at him, "Did you guys ask him if he wanted to go with us?"
An hour later at Ninja Ops…
"So it slipped all your minds?" Cam asked as he looked at the team that had gathered around him, "I mean… Dustin I can believe."
"Hey, I was the one who remembered!" Dustin reasoned.
"It's true, he was." Celea agreed as he patted Dustin's chest and back.
"I could understand how this could've happened." Sensei got all of their attention, "It is a great honor to compete in such an event. I can only imagine the excitement could be such a distraction."
"So is it alright if we go?" Tori questioned.
"Yes, of course."
"Yes!" Celea smiled happily. No training and she gets to skateboard for more Awards? Best… week… of her life!
"Yeah!" Blake smirked.
"Awesome!" Shane clapped Dustin's hand.
2 hours later…
"Hallelujah!" Celea cheered when they all got out at the sight of the Action Games.
"Someone happy." Hunter and Blake chuckled.
"No training, and I'm skateboarding for more awards… my life couldn't get any happier." Celea grinned.
"Oh I wouldn't say-" Hunter hit Dustin's gut before he could finish, not that Celea noticed.
"You guys better go check in. I'll make sure your gear's okay." Kelly called out to them.
"We'll check the place out for uh…." Hunter tried to think of an excuse.
"Let me guess… Chicks?" Celea smirked at him.
Some girls walked by and Hunter's mouth slowly drooled. "Well now that you mention it…." Hunter smirked back, knowing it'd get her.
Celea, however, rolled her eyes, knowing he was playing with her, "Whatever dude."
"Come on, I'll cruise with you." Cam hopped down from where he was hanging off the Van a bit.
"Cyber Cam?" Blake figured as they started walking.
"Not Cyber Cam." Cam defended, "Who says Real Cam can't cruise?"
Half an hour later…
Tori and Celea were laughing about the baking Contest Sensei Chikara agreed to them having.
"So… everyone but Quincy and Sensei Aronshei knew?" Tori chuckled.
"Hey, I never said they liked bending rules." Celea chuckled, and noticed some boys watching them.
"Hello." Tori waved at them while Celea smirked.
"You could never handle me." She informed them, "So keep it moving."
The boys chuckled and walked away.
"Wow… still got eyes for Hunter?" Tori figured with a soft laugh.
Celea glared at her, "Shut up."
With Hunter and Cam…
"She still walking by?" Hunter whispered to Cam as he talked to some girls.
"Yep." Cam nodded, even though Celea had walked past them five minutes ago.
"Yeah, so… you should come out to the track some time and watch a race." Hunter gave the girls a small card with a note on the inside.
Cam blinked when he saw several Kelzak, Kapri and Marah walk into the Games. "Uh… Hunter?"
"Not now, Cam." Hunter glanced back at him, having a smile plastered on his face encase Celea saw, before looking back at the girls.
"Yes, now." Cam informed him.
Hunter was about to tell him off when he saw what Cam was looking at and his smile quickly faded. He looked back at the girls, "Uh…. I gotta go… but… uh… nice talking to ya…." He grabbed Cam's arm and they quickly headed off. "Come on."
5 minutes later…
They jumped onto a large Skateboard Ramp where the sisters and some Kelzak were.
"Hey, you lost?" Cam asked them.
"We look lost?" Marah asked them.
"What a pain." Kapri opened the Portable Alien Maker and tapped a button. "Kelzak Furies."
Said minions appeared on the top of the ramp and the two rangers looked up at them.
"Oh man..." Hunter growled when another set appeared on the other side.
The two got into fighting stances, but Cam quickly calculated their odds. "I think we might need a few extra hands."
The two quickly got off the ramp and started to fight the minions, though they were really outmatched.
They soon heard three yells, and they looked to see three civilians rushing up to help fighting.
"Whoa..." Hunter grunted as he kicked back another Kelzak Fury.
"You three have to get out of here!" Cam called out as he continued to fight the ones coming at him.
"Dude! We're just trying to help!" One of them replied.
"You can help by standing aside!" Hunter snapped before he spin jump kicked a Kelzak down, "And getting out of our way!" He elbowed another Kelzak Fury.
One of the three were pulled onto the edge of the ramp, on his feet, so he kicked back into a picnic chair and kicked back.
The only girl out of the three shoved a Kelzaks foot down before kicking a Trash can down at them and flipped another over her shoulders.
The only other one jumped at a Kelzak before being thrown into one behind him, causing him to struggle before he kicked another away.
Hunter and Cam got closer together as they continued to fight the Kelzak Furies.
There was a loud whistle before the Kelzaks and Kelzak Furies all disappeared. "Where'd they go?!"
The one that had gotten thrown into a chair was on the ground as the Kelzaks around him disappeared and his friends rushed over to help him up. "Kyle you okay?"
"What were you guys thinking?!" Hunter questioned them as he and Cam walked over to them.
"We were thinking you were in trouble." Kyle informed them as he got to his feet, "You should be happy we were there."
"No. You should be happy they all decided to dematerialize." Cam retorted, "You have no idea what you were dealing with."
"I'm gone." Kyle decided.
"Me too." The girl agreed.
"Later dudes." The other guy agreed and walked away, the others following.
"Think Cea will be impressed with that?" Cam glanced at Hunter.
"Hey, I'm not the only one she'll be mad at if she finds out." Hunter retorted.
Cam rolled his eyes. Before glancing at where Kapri and Marah had moved to before the Kelzaks has disappeared.
4 minutes later…
Cam was standing outside the barrier, around where the sisters were before, and glanced up at all the gathered Ninja Rangers. "They were interested in this Area here… but…." He shrugged, "It must've been a diversion."
"I don't see anything." Dustin noted, and Celea patted his back softly. That was the point, but she didn't wanna sound like a smart-alack to him.
She, however, frowned when she noticed Cam's amulet, "Hey, what's up with your Amulet?"
"What do you mean?" He questioned, looked down at it, and saw that it was starting to have something frost-like cover it. When he tried to touch it, he cried out in pain.
"What is it?" Tori questioned.
"It's frozen." Cam informed them.
"Frozen?" Dustin breathed a laugh as Cam pulled the string off his neck to look at it, "Dude, it's like… 80 degrees out."
"No kidding." Cam agreed as he examined it, "I better get back to Ninja Ops and do some test on it there…. See what this is all about." With that, he walked up the hill they were on.
1 hour later… still at the Games...
"You… yelled at civilians for helping you?" Celea seethed as Hunter, quickly and somewhat uncomprehendingly, told her the truth.
"How did you get that?" Shane blinked.
"He's talked like that before." Celea folded her arms, "Now… why?! They were trying to help!"
"What was I supposed to do? Let them get hurt?!" Hunter snapped.
"If they were trying to help, they would've known what they were doing!" Celea snapped back.
"How could you know?" Blake asked as calmly as possible, seeing Celea's eyes slowly giving away to Bright Yellow.
"I'm not an idiot!" The Lunar Ranger replied, before taking a deep breath, "And you know what? I'm going to Ops! Call me when the Skateboarding Portion starts."
With that, she Ninja Ran away from them.
Hunter held out a hand as he was about to call out to her, then dropped it when she was out of sight and sighed, "Well… she hates me."
"She has a point though." Ty walked over to them, "Also… I'd be preparing."
The team frowned, "For what?"
Ty looked at them before sighing, "Celea's nearing the last test."
That got their attention, "What?!"
"Yeah… I know it sounds weird… but I've seen several Moon Lunar Students go through what's happening with Cel… anyone else notice how quickly she's been getting emotional lately?" He asked.
The rangers looked at each other. Shane sighed, "That would explain her reactions when we beat Kapri's, Shimazu's, and Marah's Zords two weeks ago."
"And our argument last week." Hunter realized, then looked at Ty, "You mean to say… it's the test that's causing all of that?"
"Yes, and no." Ty nodded, "It's the stress from the test that's causing it to happen… but it's gonna get worse."
"How?" Tori frowned.
"Oh… boy… you don't know..." Ty rubbed the back of his neck, "Of course she wouldn't let you… know….."
"Wouldn't let us know what?" Dustin questioned.
Ty exhaled heavily, "Literally… we've got… like... a percent chance Celea comes back as herself… Hunter? You pushed her to the brink… now the only thing that could possibly keeping her as her… it's her reserve to listen to what Sensei Aronshei taught her."
The brother's mouths fell open… they remember Celea telling them about that when they first met.
"Here. I shouldn't have snapped like I did, I'm sorry." Celea held the container with an Apology Cookie.
Hunter took the Container, and looked at Celea, "Why?"
"My Sensei always told me every action has an equal reaction." Celea explained, "And that for every fight I start, they'll be another fight were I get hurt."
"You mean to tell us…. The fact that she has to apologize for getting mad…. Is the only thing keeping her…. Normal?" Hunter seethed.
"Now you're catching on." Ty nodded, "Cel's tough… but… and I really hate to say this… but… I've got the worst feeling she'll lose control today. And I don't think we'll be getting her back easily."
The Rangers looked at each other. That isn't good.
At Ninja Ops...
Celea was holding her head, and growling in pain as she kept her mind firmly on apologizing to the Bradleys. They were still her friends… no matter what… heck, Blake's like a brother to her… and Hunter?…. Celea cared for him more than anything…
"Not… care..." Celea breathed out, as she stepped into the room, "Love…." Her eyes slowly widened as the pain ebbed away, "I love Hunter…." A grin appeared on her face, "I love Hunter Bradley! Oh yeah!" She fist pumped the air.
"Good for you." Cam got her attention and she gave him a sheepish smile as she walked over.
"Sorry… got mad, didn't have anywhere else to go." Celea shrugged, then raised a brow, "Now what the heck are you doing to your amulet?… Cause that doesn't look like something for a normal test on an object." She faced the Amulet, but glanced at Cam.
"It is for this." Cam reasoned, then sighed and put the scanner he was using down, "And I don't know, Dad… I can't figure it out why the amulet reacted that way." The lights in Ops started to flicker all around them. "It's even drawing power away from the reactors!" He tapped a few keys to see what was going on then sighed. "It's never done anything like this before."
"How's it reacted in the past?" Celea questioned.
"Well, once or twice, it's… gotten really warm. But… that was only when something good happened." Cam replied, "Like, when you solved your second test." He looked over at the Lunar Ranger who nodded.
"Interesting." Sensei noted, "One might conclude that-"
"Since warmth comes from good, cold must come from bad or evil!" Cam finished for him.
"I can't believe you didn't think of that." Celea noted.
"I must be losing my edge." The Green ranger agreed.
"Some concepts, though they may seem simple," Sensei got their attention, "Are the most difficult. Especially those that pertain through the powers of Good and Evil."
The console suddenly went off, and it showed an enlarged Vexacus.
"Well that's not good." Celea noted.
"I'll handle this one myself." Cam noted, "You have to stay here… Dad… try and… help her?"
"I'll be fine… so long as I keep remembering that I'm in love with Hunter." Celea assured.
Cam tried to type in the code to access the Samurai Chopper, "Come on! I can't believe this."
Frowning, Celea looked at the screen, "Maybe…." She typed in a familiar code, not knowing what it meant, and yelped when something materialized beside her.
"Yo." It was Cyber Cam, "What up?"
Celea held her heart, "Oh, other than you almost giving me a teenage heart attack?!" Her eyes flashed Bright Yellow before she quickly started thinking about Hunter and her smiling and laughing together, calming her down.
"The Hydraulic Portal to the Samurai Star Megazord has lost power." Cam informed his Cyber Double.
"Bummer, dude." Cyber had no idea what he meant.
Cam didn't have time for his smart-alack replies, "Listen, there's a manual override leaver in-"
"The green box outside the entrance to the Hanger?" Cyber finished for him, "I know. You programmed that information into me." Celea tried not to laugh, but let a few breaths of it escape.
"Right." Cam glared at Celea, "I forget sometimes." He then looked back at Cyber, "See if you can reset it from there. I'm gonna call the rangers."
"On my way." Cyber hopped down from where he was sitting.
Celea sighed, "I'll go too… Cyber's a lot funner than this… and I'm no use as a Ranger right now."
"You sure?" Cam looked over at her.
Celea nodded slowly, "Yeah… I think so…." She shook her head, "I know so… I'll be fine."
Cam sighed, "Alright… just… don't make a liar out of me when I tell Hunter you're alright."
Celea smirked, "Would I ever?"
"Yes."
Celea rolled her eyes and walked out of Ops, "Whatever…"
At the Action Games…
The other Rangers were gathered around under a small seating area.
Shane's morpher went off and he put it to his ear, "Rangers. I'm sending the Zords to you. There's a big fish in a little pond that you need to deal with."
"Is Celea okay?" Hunter asked quickly.
"…..She's great." Hunter could tell he was lying, but didn't voice his thoughts on it.
"On our way, Cam." Shane informed the other Ranger before looking at the others, "Let's go… and Hunter? Focus."
"I will… trust me, I will." Hunter assured as they made their way out of the box.
"Hey, where are you guys going?" Kelly asked them.
"Uh… Bathroom." Dustin lied.
"All of you?" Kelly questioned.
"We'll be back, with Celea, we promise." Shane assured.
Kelly watched them leave, and frowned as she tried to think of something being told to her once, but couldn't put a finger on it.
In the Woods outside of Ops…
Cyber Cam appeared in front of the box, Celea walking up to him, "Cea… I love company, but-"
"Trust me, I'm no use to my friends right now." Celea cut him off.
They looked at the box, and quickly got down closer to it. "This is not good." Cyber noted.
"Gee, I won't have guessed." Celea scuffed as they started reconnecting wires.
Back with the Other Rangers…
They got into a clearing and got into formation.
"Ready?" Shane asked them.
"Ready!" The others nodded.
"Ninja Storm!"
"Thunder Storm!"
"Ranger Form! Ha!" Once they were all morphed, they called out, "Ninja Ranger Power!"
The Zords appeared, and the Rangers quickly jumped into them.
"Blake, Hunter, I'm sending you a Power Disk that will allow you to combine with the Owl Zord, in all formations." Cam called into the Thunder Megazord's com-links.
"Got it!" They nodded as a Power Disk appeared in Hunter's dashboard.
"This one's for you, Cel." Hunter breathed out before he put it in the slot, "Locked." He turned the handle as it appeared, "And Dropped!"
The Owl Zord soon combined with the Thunder Megazord, but it didn't feel any better.
"Missing Cel's enthusiastic comment, huh?" Blake know his brother.
"Yeah." Hunter sighed before looking at the Fish-Freak before them, "But let's take care of this bird prey first."
Another disk appeared on his Dashboard, along with Shane's. They put them in, and let them drop down.
The Megazords recombined into the Lunar-Thunderstorm Megazord.
"You guys ready to roll?" Shane asked them.
"Yeah!" Tori nodded.
"You know it!" Hunter smirked behind his helmet.
They started rolling up to Vexacus, who, in turn, sent a blast at them… but that didn't stop them from getting up to him. He struck them with his sword… which caused a lot of sparks in everyone's cockpit, and for the Megazord to fall to the ground.
Hunter growled. "If Cel were here…"
"We're okay, thanks." The others knew what he meant as they got the Megazord back up.
"Come on, guys!" Shane called out.
"Lion Blaster!" Everyone chorused.
They sent the large blast at the Fish Monster, but he easily cut each strike away.
"Time to strum his pain, with my fingers!" Shane declared as he held the Lightning Rift Blaster. He strummed the chord to summon the Mammoth Zord.
They combined with it, and chorused, "Mammoth Zord!" They sent a powerful bout of Laser blast at the fish freak which seemed to destroy him… until he came back up with that freaky fish head beneath him.
"Land Shark!" Vexacus declared as he had the head rush up to them. When they collided, it sent them off the Mammoth Zord, and for them to go back to their separate Megazords, and for a lot of sparks to come into their Cockpits.
At the Action Games…
"Kelly..." Ty looked around quickly, worry in his features till he saw her, "Kelly!" He rushed up to her, "Kelly you need to get out of here!"
"What? Why?" She frowned.
Ty bit his lip, before saying, "I can't tell you."
Kelly rolled her eyes before she went over to an Announcer, "You need to hold off for my riders."
"Sorry, Kelly." He shook his head, "If they aren't here for the first run, I can't hold up for them."
Kelly walked with him, and Ty had to quickly follow, "But I know they'll be back." Ty bit his lip and gritted his teeth a bit at that… there was no guarantee of that…
"Well, then, you should have no problems." The man stopped walking and looked over at her, "Sorry I can't do more."
Kelly nodded before Ty grabbed her arm, "Ty?! What's the matter with you?!"
His eyes flash brown as he felt the shift of power close by as a small earthquake happened out of nowhere, "No!" He grabbed onto a barrier as he held Kelly close, "It can't be too late!"
He felt the power of something thought only to seep out small bouts for darkness to Lunar Ninjas.
"The Abyss of Evil has opened." He breathed out.
"Abyss of what?!" Kelly snapped at him, "Ty, you're not making any sense!"
Ty closed his eyes and looked back at Kelly as they went back to normal, "Would you believe me if I told you… I'm a Ninja?"
With the Rangers…
"Victory is mine!" Vexacus laughed evilly.
The two Megazords quickly got back up.
"I don't think so!" Hunter retorted.
"It's Thunder Time!" Blake agreed.
"Power Disk! Locked!" They both put a Power Disk into their slots, then turned the handle, "And Dropped!"
Their copy of the Serpent Sword appeared in their hands, and they walked up to the Fish-Freak. "Ready for more?" He laughed.
The Thunder Brothers walked their Megazord up, and struck the monster, anger coursing through both of them.
They flipped their Megazord around him, and struck Vexacus. Who, in turn, grabbed their sword and struck the center of the Megazord. "Goodbye, Thunder Rangers!"
"It's gonna blow!" Shane realized.
"No!" Tori gasped.
"Get outta there!" Dustin called out.
But the Thunder Brothers couldn't…. they were covering their faces from the amount of sparks.
A large electric bolt struck them, and the Megazord was completely destroyed, Vexacus with it.
"Celea's gonna kill us." Dustin's eyes were wide from the scene before them.
At the Games...
A large ball of darkness came out of nowhere, and Ty had to hold the barricade to keep from moving up to it. The Darkness within him was starting to get out of wack with the shift of power, and it wasn't good. He was being drawn to the evil, and that meant Lothor could control him again… which he didn't want the first time.
"Ty!" Kelly screamed and the Lunar Graduate held her closer as an even stronger earthquake appeared.
"Okay… new plan, don't move." Ty instructed, not even bothering to use his powers in case they went for control. He either needed to get away from this evil, or he needed to find his happy place. And he is happy to think that his happy place is with Kelly.
"You said you were a Ninja!" Kelly breathed out, "Do… something Ninja Like!"
"I can't!" Ty retorted, "You don't understand… my power is over… well… controlling things! Storms, minds… that sort of thing…. But the Abyss of Evil? You can forget it! It's too powerful. Once it's open all the way…. Well…"
"Well what?!" Kelly prompted.
Ty took in a deep breath and looked at her eyes, "You better pray you just don't get caught in the crossfire."
At Ops...
"Cam, we've reached the Lunar-Thunder Zord wreckage. It doesn't look good." Shane called through as Cam saw them close to a fiery large amount of twisted metal.
"Any sign of Hunter and Blake?"
"Mainly Hunter so Celea won't lose it?" Dustin added to Tori's worry.
"I'm getting infrared heat signatures in the area." Cam assured, "But… there's a lot of interference. I can't pinpoint an exact location."
"So long as they're alive… I'm okay." Dustin replied.
"Keep trying to establish contact." Shane instructed, "We'll head back to Ops and regroup." With that, the transmission was cut.
With Celea and Cyber Cam…
Celea was hold her head and hissing soft breaths as she tried to stay calm, "Something happened with Hunter!"
Cyber looked at her, "I'm sure it's noth-"
"Trust me! It's something!" Celea cut him off, her eyes glowing bright yellow for a second before she closed them and held her head again, "Whatever happened…. it's throwing my power off!"
Cyber sighed, and glanced back at his work before the sound of someone appearing out of nowhere got both of their attention, and they looked over to see Lothor with his nieces. "Hello Cyber Nephew, and Lunar girl."
Kapri sent a small electric virus at Cyber Cam, forcing him to jolt a bit, before falling onto the control panel, motionless.
"Cyber!" Celea cried out before groaning and holding her head, before slowly backing away from the three, "St… stay away…."
"Not gonna happen." Lothor grabbed her, and pulled her up to his masked face, "I've done some research since you last saw me, Lunar student. And I know, just as well as you do, that you're not strong enough to stay yourself for long."
Celea's breath was coming out in fast hisses, "You…. Know… nothing… ah!" She cried out as Lothor threw her to the ground, which is when it finally happened.
All the pain from losing Hunter, the stress… being a ranger and an ungrateful Ninja Student… it finally got to her… and she couldn't take it anymore… not if her friends weren't with her.
She broke.
Celea's eyes turned Bright Yellow and stayed that way. "Finally… I'm free."
"Celestina… I believe is what you're called." Lothor smirked darkly.
Celestina looked over at the Evil Ninja, "That's me. Now… I'll only ask this once…. What did you do to Cyber?"
"Oh…. Just.. gave him jolt." Kapri laughed darkly.
Celestina rolled her eyes, "I could've just as easily erased him."
"Hmmm…. Do you know where the Hideout is?" Lothor considered.
"What's in it for me if I tell you?" Celestina questioned, "I know evil, and I may be it… but I'm not an idiot."
Lothor tapped his long chin, before smirking, "You'll be Co-ruler of the earth."
Celestina scuffed, "Let me be the ruler of torturing Humanity… I care about the Earth, like anyone… I may be evil, but I've got a small bit of light in me that makes me have a slight conscious… though I do hate it."
"Fine. Torturer." Lothor rolled his eyes, "Now will you show us?"
Celestina smirked darkly, "Gladly." She grabbed the back of Cyber Cam's jacket and dragged him as she walked with the other three.
In Ninja Ops...
"This is so frustrating, and terrifying." Cam typed at the console, "I still can't get a fix on Hunter and Blake." He frowned when the two signals from Cyber Cam and Celea's morpher went out. "That's weird. Cyber Cam and Celea are gone too."
"Keep trying, keep trying." Sensei nodded.
"Yeah, Cam." A dark version of Celea's voice made him turn around, and saw her standing with Lothor Kapri, and Marah, her eyes bright yellow. "Keep trying."
The three evil Space Ninjas walked in, his cousins holding Cyber Cam, while Celea kept smirking.
"Hello Nephew." Lothor walked into Ninja Ops for the first time.
Cam got up from his seat, "How did you get in here? And how did you get out?" He added the last question to Celea.
"Our new Allie." Lothor put a hand on Celea's shoulder.
"Yet to be determined when I get my end of the deal." Celea hissed.
Lothor removed his hand quickly, "And your reprogrammed cybernetic replicate…."
"It's a lot faster if you just say Cyber Copy..." Celea grumbled to herself, glad no one else heard.
"Led us inside." Lothor finished.
The sisters let Cyber Cam go, and Celestina kicked him closer to his real version.
"And I used my DNA handprint, the same as my brothers… or… what used to be," Lothor considered when he saw that his twin was still a Guinea Pig, "To take us the rest of the way."
"I am no brother of yours." Sensei retorted, "Our family tie have long been broken."
"You'll never get out of here with him." Cam walked closer, then glanced at Celea, "And you'll never keep control of her."
The Evil Space Ninja smirked, "We didn't come for him, nephew… like I'm sure Celestina didn't come to be told what to do."
Celestina nodded, "We came… for you. And you alone."
Cam faked a laugh, "You're both dreaming."
"Perhaps." Celestina considered.
"But is it so wrong to dream of a world where the ultimate evil rules all those who inhabitant it…. and even tortures a few?" Lothor questioned.
"First part, yes." Celestina grumbled softly again.
"When I, Lothor, command an army of thousands…. With some help from even more darkness," He added when Celestina snarled at him, "All who live in our new shadows… must bow down to my… our… greatness…. is that so wrong?"
"Uh..." Cam pretended to think about it, "Yes."
Celestina snarled, "Fine…"
"Have it your way." Lothor sneered before he sent a blast of red energy while Celestina sent a blast of darkness.
Cam moved out of the way and Sensei jumped forward, also dodging the attack.
Lothor snarled and went after him while Celestina went after Cam. "Get up!" She forced him to his feet.
"You don't want to do this." Cam gasped out, "You know you don't! Look into your heart."
"I don't need to." Celestina snarled, "I was offered a deal, and I'm gonna fulfill my end of it… then stab your poor uncle in the back." She made a fake pout face before she kneed him in the gut and forced him back to the ground, right as Kapri and Marah struck at the areas close to the entrance.
Cam pulled off his glasses, and went at Lothor, while Celestina helped with the destruction, by sending a dark energy blast at the secondary entrance.
Their fighting continued until Lothor forced Cam into a wall, and the Green Ranger quickly moved away from a red blast he was about to send at him, causing the inner works of the console to appear.
"Ah… I always wandered what was behind those." Celestina smirked before She sent a blast of darkness with Lothor at the right corner of the room, then the left.
"No..." Cam gasped out.
Celestina let both of her hands glow black as she called out, "DARKNESS WAVE!" A wave a blackness stretched through the entire room, while Lothor sent an energy blast with it.
They continued to use their powers until Lothor called out, "ENOUGH!" They looked over at him, before the Evil Ninja pointed to Celestina then Cam, "Get him up!"
Celestina rolled her eyes and grabbed Cam, forcing him to his feet, "The things I do for deals…."
"Let him go!" Sensei Watanabe called out as he flipped up and was about to get closer to who used to be his brother, when Lothor sent another blast at him, and flung him into another room out of Ops' main.
"NO!" Cam cried out as the power caused even more of Ops to come down, "Dad!" Celestina grunted as she dragged him out of Ops.
10 minutes later...
Shane, Dustin, and Tori rushed into Ops.
"What happened?!" Shane gasped as they looked around.
"It's trashed!" Dustin informed him.
"No..." Tori gasped out.
"Cam!" Shane called out, "Sensei!" He got no reply. "Cyber Cam? Celea?!" Still nothing.
Dustin frowned as they looked, "Where are they?"
"Don't worry, they'll be here somewhere." Shane assured.
"They have to be." Tori agreed, "If anyone could survive this, it's Cam, Sensei and Celea."
They continued to look, worry starting to course through all of them.
On Lothor's Ship…
Cam was tied up to a pole, "You won't get away with this! Whatever you're doing, it won't work."
"Oh, ye of little faith." Celestina smirked as she patted his shoulder, "Is that anyway to talk to your uncle?" As she spoke, Lothor undid a scroll that seemed to have a piece cut out of it.
"The Scroll of Destiny!" Cam realized, "That's been missing from the Wind Ninja Academy for years."
"Before our ceremonious meeting in the past… I borrowed it to ensure my future." Lothor informed him.
"Not a bad trick." Celestina appraised.
"It's the key to my master plan." Lothor added.
Cam scuffed, "You based your master plan on some beat up, old piece of paper?"
"This 'Beat up old piece of paper' has actually predicted everything." Celestina retorted.
"See this part near the bottom?" Lothor pointed to the bottom, where it showed half the Wind Ninja Symbol and half the Lunar Ninja Symbol on both sides, "That's where I destroy earth, and Celestina stays in control."
"Aren't you missing something?" Cam questioned, "Where's the rest of the scroll?"
"Nice try." Celestina scuffed as they walked closer, "But save it."
"I know exactly what happens next." They hissed to him, as Lothor snatched the Samurai Amulet from his throat.
"No!" Cam called out too late.
"It's payback time, Nephew." Lothor smirked.
"And you've got a front row seat." Celestina smiled evilly, "Have fun watching the world die."
She, Marah, and Kapri laughed evilly as Cam tried to pull out of his restraints.
Things weren't looking bright for the Rangers.
