Chapter Fifty Two

"I'm surprise you remember my name," Leanne said as she kneels down in front of Janessa.

"Was it you that save me?" Janessa asked.

Leanne nods

"Why?"

"Because I know you," She simply replied. "Beside, I wanted to talk to you". She added.

"About?"

"You seriously don't remember who you are, do you?"

Janessa got up, facing her back toward Leanne. "I don't know what you are talking about." She put on hand on the tree and slightly glances back at Leanna. "You may have saved my life, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to talk to you," she said, remaining calm and not showing her weak side.

"You do know what I'm talking about," Leanne got up. "You just don't want to admit it because you are frightened about what you might remember".

"Who are you and what make you think that you know," Janessa retorted angry. "I know who I am and I certainly don't need your help". She begins to walk away.

"You can be stubborn all you want, but we both know the truth," Janessa stops walking, but didn't look back. "You need my help and you know it. Right now you are frustrated and confuse because you want to know you really are, but you are scared to ask for help from Hunter and Blake".

Janessa swiftly turns around, facing Leanne. "How do you know? Who exactly are you?" She asked, walking up to Leanne.

"Family," was all Leanne said and Janessa was speechless for a minute before she speaks.

"Are we..." she hesitates, unable to finish her sentence "Sister?" she asked finally.

Leanne nodded. "More like stepsisters, my father adopted you when you were a baby and we grew up, caring each other as if we are sisters for real".

Janessa stares at Leanne, wondering if she should believe what she said about them being stepsister. "How do I know what you said are true?"

"Trust your instinct and your heart," Leanne folds her arms. "If I'm lying, you would know. Beside I did save your life, didn't I? And if that doesn't convince you then the scar above your forehead would be proof enough".

"Scar?" Janessa eyes widen. She placed her hand on the scar that is above her forehead. "How do you I have a scar above my forehead?" She questioned in shock that Leanne know about her scar that she never told anyone about.

"Because I was the one who bandage it and knew how you got it. That's not the only scar you have. You have one on your ankle too," She pointed out.

That was just enough proof for Janessa to believe that Leanne was her family that wants to help her regain her memory. Having no where to go and that Vexacus is after her, she decide to trust Leanna.

"I need your help," She finally said what Leanne wants to hear. "But

Leanne nods. "Then follows me," she said before she walked away.

Janessa stares at Leanne walking away before she follows.

At Ninja Ops, Cam was at the computer main frame checking for any sight of attack from Lothor's goons while Kapri was taking care of Marah, who was still unconscious.

"So far it's quiet and no monster attack," said Cam, who took off his glasses and glances down at his dad who was watching the screen.

"Hm, something doesn't seem right at all," Sensei put his hands under his chin and spokes. "I have a feeling that Lothor is up to something".

"Or maybe he's still trying to come up with a plan," Skyla assumed. She was standing next to Cam with one arm resting on top of the chair, above Cam's head.

"Or he could have a vacation," Cam joked causing Skyla to laugh and earning a glare from his dad.

"He definitely coming up with a plan," Kapri spokes and everyone turn their attention on her. "I'm afraid he might plan something vicious".

"Whatever it is, we will be preparing for it, Kapri," Cam assured and Skyla nods in agreement.

"I hope so," Sensei agreed.

A groan sound was heard and Kapri looked down, seeing Marah slowly waking up.

"Marah?"

Marah opens her eyes, wincing. "Where am I?" she asked, touching the back of her head.

"Ninja Ops," Kapri answered.

"Ninja Ops?" Marah says and immediately her eyes widen. She sat up all sudden, wincing in pain. She touches her right shoulder that a bandage sling and look at Kapri. "Kapri, what am I doing here? How did I get here?"

"You were injured badly from the monster attack when you step in and save me and the rangers," Kapri explained. "Dustin was the one that found you and brought you here".

"Dustin," Marah got up. "I shouldn't be here". She begins to walk toward the exit, but Cam stops her.

"You can't leave especially when you are injured. You are not going back to Lothor".

"I have to because..."

"Because you want to protect everyone especially Dustin, am I right?" Skyla finished Marah's sentence as she walked over to her. "Going back is dangerous. Lothor already figure out about Kapri betrayal, which mean he probably discover the truth about you being alive".

"But..." Marah begins to said, but Kapri cut in.

"Please don't go Marah," Kapri pleaded. "I don't want to lose you the second time and I'm betting that Dustin doesn't want to lose you either. If you are going back then I'm going back with you even if I get destroy by Lothor".

"Kapri is right, Marah," Cam placed his hand on Marah's left shoulder. "We can't lose you. We are not going to sit back and watch you risk your life, going back to Lothor".

"But I..."

"Marah, listen to me," Sensei spokes and everyone turns to him. "You have done your part in helping. Now, it's our turn. It's safer that you stay here. Everyone don't want to see you get hurt nor sacrifice yourself. You and Kapri are part of this family".

There were tears in Kapri and Marah eyes. They never thought Sensei and Cam consider them family.

"Don't go Marah," Skyla said, worried that Marah still want to go.

Kapri put her arm around her sister. "What is it going to be, are you staying?"

Marah wipes her tears on her cheek and nodded. Skyla and Cam smiles at Marah decision and then they gave Marah and Kapri a hug.

Vexacus was stomping around angry on the ship. "I CAN"T BELIEVES SHE GOT AWAY!" He retorted. "I need a new plan".

He was pacing around, thinking up a plan when Motodrone walked in.

"WHAT!" Vexacus stops pacing around and glares at Motodrone.

"Master Lothor would like to see you," Motodrone replied before he left.

"What now?" Vexacus muttered before he went to see Lothor. He went to main area room and saw Lothor standing at the control panel area.

"Sir, you want to see me".

"Yes, I need a monster to attack rangers since Zurgane is not here".

"Yes, right away sir," Vexacus nodded. "What about Kapri and Fake Marah?"

"Kapri!" Lothor tightens his fists. "I deal with her later. As for Fake Marah, where is she?"

"Dead"

"What! Impossible!"

"It's possible when it was Marah pretending to be her to fool you".

Lothor glares at him. "Are you saying that Fake Marah has been dead all this time and Marah was alive, pretending to be Fake Marah?"

"That is correct sir".

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Well, I have to make sure my assumption was right," Vexacus explained. "I kept an eye on her and notice she vanishes off the ship everything we send a monster to attack the rangers. She must have helped the rangers behind our back".

"Arrgh!" Lothor slams his fists on the table "Now, I'm angry. I want to send a monster down and attack the rangers".

"Okay, but you are going to have to give me some time".

"Time!"

"Yes, I want to make sure this monster doesn't fail".

"Fine, but don't keep me waiting". Lothor agreed.

"I won't," Vexacus bows his head down and then left the room.

It has been a long day for Dustin. He was closing up Storm Charger for the night after Kelly left. Shane, Tori, Blake, and Hunter has already left earlier to see Cam at Ninja Ops after he told them that he will meet them there later

He doesn't know why, but it has a feeling that Hunter was worried for Janessa, who was the black mask figure. At first, he was angry that he didn't know who Janessa really was and that he has to find out from Kapri before witness it with his own eyes. He really considers her as his friend and trusted her.

"Why can't she be honest with me?" He muttered.

Not only he found out about Janessa being black mask figure, but to know Marah was alive all this time was a shocking even though he did has his suspicion.

He sighs and locks the door. Then he turns around and was about to walked away when he saw a shadow limping toward him. Alert, he got into his fighting mode. As the shadow come into view, his eyes widen.

"Marah?"

"Dustin," she softly said.

Seeing her limping, the bandage sling on her right arm, he rushes over and wrapped his arm around her. "What are you doing here? You should be at ninja ops resting".

Suddenly something occurs to him and he let go of her. "Wait, how do I know if you are Marah and not an imposter?"

"You told me that night right before the next day I left to fight the fake imposter of me that you will always protect me and love me no matter what happen," She told, hoping that he would believe she was really Marah. Before she knew, she felt herself being embrace.

"I'm glad it's really you," She heard him whispers in her ear. "Please don't leave me again".

"I promise I won't," She hugs Dustin back with her good arm. "You have no idea how much I miss you and want to be in you arms. I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you I was alive because I was..."

"Protecting me and the others," he slowly let her go to where he could see her face. With one arms wrapped around her, he touches her face with the other hand. "I know, I was a bit angry that you didn't tell me that you were alive. I understand that you are scared that Lothor would hurt me because he knows that I'm your weakness. Seeing you get hurt and almost losing you, really hurt. I can't lose you nor will I let you go back to Lothor".

Marah smile a little and touches his face. "I'm not going back nor leaving you again. I promise".

Hearing what Marah said bring a smile to Dustin's face. "So you came all the way here to see me?"

"Um hmm"

"Does Cam and Kapri know?"

"Yeah, relax I didn't walk all way here, Cam teleports me here to see you".

"So I take it that Cam want me to take you back to Ninja Ops, right?"

"Actually, I was hoping to go back to your place so that we can talk more, catching up on what I miss out on".

"Ok, but what about Cam?"

"He's fine with it".

"Good," Dustin slightly chuckles. "I don't want him or Kapri to worry when they didn't see you return".

"They won't," Marah shook her head. "Beside, Kapri is talking to everyone".

"About?"

"Well she is telling them about her being Kaitlyn and about Lothor planning something bad".

"Well I guess we can start heading to my place," Marah nodded. "But first," he kneels down in front of her with his back facing her. "I'm going to carry you on back because I'm not letting you limp back to my place".

Marah smile and got on, wrapping her arm around Dustin's neck. Dustin got up slowly and walked away with Marah on his back.

TBC: That was sweet between Marah and Dustin. I'm so glad that they are back together. At first I was planning for Marah return to Lothor, but then I changed my mind and let her be with Dustin because I miss them together.

Next chapter will have a bit of Dustin and Marah scene and Hunter and Kapri.

Also more about Janessa's past.
