DarkPriestess66: Storm Before the Calm pt 1, I don't own it.'

The Ninja Gang was at Store Chargers,

"I can't believe this," Dustin states, as he walked into the shop, carrying a box of oil bottles, "Ask them for four-stroke oil, they send me this two-stroke stuff," he puts the bottle, he was looking about back at in the box, "Blah, what am I suppose to do with that?"

Shane, Kelly, Desiree and Angelica started laughing,

"What's so funny?" Dustin asks,

"Hey look, forget about the oil and pack your bags," Shane replies,

"Why were we going?" Dustin asks,

"you wanted to freestyle, well guess what; you're going to get your chance," Kelly replies, then hands Dustin a registration form "Fill it out and sign it, we have to get it in straight away if you want to make the deadline,"

Dustin looks at the piece of paper, "This is for the US Action Games," he jumps up and down in excitement, "Are you serious?"

"Yep, and by the way under sponsor write Storm Chargers, " Kelly answers,

"Sponsored!" Dustin exclaims, then he turns to Shane, who was looking at a holding a skateboard magazine, "Did you know about this?"

"I'm going too for skateboard, baby." Shane answers jumping on the couches,

Dustin turns to Desiree, "Did you?"

"Same here, except for rollerblading or in line skating, depends on what they make me do," Desiree replies, "Filled out the form, three weeks ago."

Shane, Dustin and Desiree cheered in excitement. Angelica was going too but she was going to be a member of the crowd, for the longest time she thought about turning to an action sport as well, as much as she loved figure skating, she decided she wanted a change.

Tori walked in,

"Hey, Tori, check it out," Dustin states holding at the form,

Tori smiled, "Oh Kelly sponsoring you to go the US action games in freestyle,"

"yeah," Dustin replies, "How did you know?"

"She showed me this morning," Tori replies,

Hunter and Blake walked in, "Hey,"

"Hey guys, guess what?" Dustin asks,

"We know, US Action Games," Blake replies,

"Awesome," Hunter replies clapping Dustin on the shoulder, going over to the couches to sit with everyone else,

"So let me get this straight everyone knew except for me?" Dustin asks, "Is that about right?"

"Yeah, that's about right," Tori replies,

"I hate that," Dustin states, then looks at Blake and Hunter, "Didn't you test today for Roger Hannah for the Factory Blue sponsorship?"

"That's right, how did it go?" Desiree asks,

"There was a photographer there from Dirt Works magazine, he said he didn't see anyone test that fast like that since McGrath in 91," Hunter replies,

Every gave Blake high fives,

"So what's the deal?" Dustin asks,

"Well factory ride if I want it," Blake replies,

"That's awesome," The twins states,

"Yeah, that's great." Tori replies,

"Why wouldn't you want it?" Dustin asks,

"Come on, don't you think I'm a little busy around here," Blake replies,

"Yeah but how can you pass up an opportunity like that?" Shane asks,

"That's what I told him," Hunter replies,

Blake just looks away.

Desiree, Angelica, and Tori walked up as the guys were working,

Tori looked confused, "Question, did any of you guys happen to tell Sensai, we're going to the action games,"

"Uh oh, not me," Shane replies,

"Hey what about Cam, did anyone ask him if he wanted to go with us?" Dustin asks,

"I did," Angelica replies, "Come on, we better go ask Sensai,"

~~Ninja Ops~~

"So it slipped all of your minds? I mean Dustin, I can believe," Cam asked as Angelica try to hold her laugher in,

"Hey, I was the one who remembered," Dustin defended himself,

"It's true, he was." Shane states.

"I can understand how this could have happened. It is a great honor to complete in such an event," Sensai states "I can only imagine the excitement can be quite a distraction,"

"So is it alright if we go?" Tori asks,

"Yes, of course," Sensai answers,

Angelica looked at Desiree, "What about permission from Mom and Dad?"

"Don't worry about them, they're on a year and half cruise for everything that has happened this year, and it's my well our gift for their wedding anniversary, as well as Uncle John's birthday present," Desiree replies,

~~Action Games~~~

Everyone piled out of the storm chargers' van, there were crowds of people.

"this is ill," Dustin states as people ran by him,

"You guys better check in, I'll make sure your gears okay," Kelly states,

"We're check the place out for uh," Shane replies

"Let me guess chicks?" Tori asks,

"Now that you mention it," Shane replies looking at a cute girl who just walked passed.

"Come on, I'll cruise with you," Cam states with his arm around Angelica's waist,

"CyberCam?" Blake asks,

"I'm not CyberCam, who says the real Cam can't cruise?" Cam asks

Desiree nearly jumped for joy as she saw a group of rollerblader skate by,

Hunter was at a stand talking to some bored looking girls, "you should come out to the track sometime and watch a race,"

Cam and Desiree were watching someone come into the park,

"Hunter?" Cam asks,

"Not now, Cam." Hunter replies,

Desiree grab Hunter's shirt "Yes now," she pointed out a group of Kelzaks, Marah and Kapri walking in the gate.

"I've got to go, but nice talking to you," Hunter told the girls, then He, Cam and Desiree ran off.

"Oh great," Marah stated as the three ninjas step up on the half-pipe,

"Hey, You lost?" Cam asks

"Do we look lost?" Marah replies,

"What a pain," Kapri states, then presses a button on the PAM, "Kelzak Furies,"

"Great." muttered Desiree

"Oh man," Hunter agrees,

Cam, Hunter, and Desiree slipped into fighting stances,

"I think we might need a few extra hands," Cam stated as he looked at the kelzaks and kelzak furies,

"On it," Desiree replies, *Twin, round up the others; we got a problem,*

They began fighting the Kelzak Furies, when suddenly three teenagers charged in and began to fight the normal kelzaks,

Desiree, Cam, and Hunter looked at each other confused, "Huh?"

"Who are they?" Kapri asks, looking at the three teens

"Who cares, let's just do what we came here to do, and get out of here," Marah replies,

"You have to get out of here," Cam told the three teens, who were messing with things they didn't understand,

"Dude, we're just trying to help," one teen replies,

"You can help by standing aside," Hunter states, he spin kicked a Kelzak fury,

"And getting out of our way," Desiree adds, as she flipped a Kelzak over,

Marah and Kapri were down in a ditch, with an evil looking metal detector,

"Here it is," Marah states waving the metal detector over an area, "Everything looks good, we're right on schedule, you ready?"

"Ready" Kapri replies, then whistles,

Desiree, Cam, and Hunter were confused as the Kelzaks and furies just disappeared.

"Where did they go?" Hunter asks,

two teens ran over to their friend,

"Kyle, are you okay?" one male teen asks,

Desiree, Cam, and Hunter came over.

"What were you guys thinking?" Hunter asks,

"we were thinking you were in trouble," the African American teen replies, "You should be happy we were there,"

"No, you should be happy, they all decided to dematerialize, you have no idea what you're dealing with," Cam states,

"I'm gone," the African American teen states,

"Me too," the blonde teenage girl agrees,

"Later, dudes." The other teen states, they left.

Cam was down in the ditch looking for whatever Marah and Kapri were searching for.

"They were interested in this area here, but most of all been a diversion," Cam explains, as he looked up at Hunter, Tori, Desiree, and Angelica,

"I don't see anything," Dustin replies,

Angelica looked at the amulet, "Hey, what's wrong with your amulet?"

"What do you mean?" Cam asks, as he looks down at it and touched it, he touched and gave a small shout,

"What is it?" Tori asks,

"It's frozen," Cam replies,

"Frozen? Dude it's like eighty degrees" Dustin states,

Cam rips off the amulet and stares at it, "No kidding, better get back to Ninja ops and do some tests on it there, see what it's all about."

"I'll go too," Angelica states, "I don't like this place, it's giving me the creeps,"

"Keep in contact," Desiree states as she touched her sister's hand, "let me know anything that happens,"

"Okay," Angelica agrees,

Cam and Angelica left.

~~Ninja Ops~~~

Angelica stood at Cam's side as he scanned the frozen Samurai Amulet,

"I don't know, Dad. I can't figure out why the Amulet reacted that way," Cam states,

the lights flickered on and off,

"It's even drawing power away from the reactors," Angelica states,

Cam typed on the computer to reset the systems to stop the power flow, "It's never done anything like this before,"

"How has it reacted in the past?" Sensai asks,

"Well once or twice, it's gotten really warm but that's only happened when something really good happened," Cam answers,

"Interesting, one might conclude..." Sensai replies,

"Since warmth comes from good, cold must come from bad or evil," Cam interrupts, "I can't believe I didn't think of that, I must be loosing my edge,"

"Some concepts though they may seem simple, are the most difficult especially those that pertain to the powers of good and evil." Sensai replies,

~~~Lothor's ship~~~

Marah and Kapri walked in,

"Uncle, you know how you like this whole good news bad news thing?" Kapri asks

"Yes, I quite do actually," Lothor replies,

"Well, we got one for you," Marah states, "A really good one,"

"You see the Abyss of Evil is nearly completely full," Kapri explains, "It's ready to explode, ka-boom. Tons of evil spilling out over the earth,"

"That would be the good news," Lothor replies,

"For us, yes. The bad news is sitting on top of a place where the rangers are right now," Marah states,

"I see, well we're going to do something about," Lothor replies, then looks down at the view screen, "You've been quite useless, Vexacus. Now it's your turn to feed my evil plan,"

"Sounds like fun," Marah smiles,

"Never did like him anyway," Kapri smiles, before they disappear in a flash of lighting,

~~with Vexacus~~

"Huh?" Vexacus asks as he stopped walking down the path in the forest, "Where are they?"

"Hey," Kapri greets,

"Where is the scroll, I've been waiting an eternity. You have no idea who angry that makes me,"

"Good, use it." Kapri replies, "Scroll of Empowerment, descend!"

The scroll makes Vexacus grow larger.

"That's what I call power," Vexacus states, "I will destroy the Power Rangers and Lothor's evil empire will be mine,"

~~~Ninja Ops' entrance~~~

Marah and Kapri were walking around the waterfall entrance to the Wind Ninja Grounds

"It's around here somewhere," Marah states, "I know it is,"

they walked down a hill, Marah smacks Kapri with a branch,

"Hey!" Kapri exclaims then looks to her left, and stops a green lid, "Oooh, there." she goes over to it,

"Excellent." Marah stated

"And it's green too, nice touch." Kapri replies,

they rip open the lid, sparks fly from the wires that were in it.

~~Inside Ops~~~

Cam and Angelica were watching the monitor, when Vexacus appears on the screen.

"That's not good," Cam states, "We'll handle this one ourselves,"

He begins typing to release his zord and angelica's, but something doesn't work. "Come on, I can't believe this."

CyberCam appears on the computer desk, "Yo, what up?"

"Hydraulic portal to the Samurai Star megazord and the ice dragon zord has lost power," Cam answers,

"Bummer, Dude," CyberCam replies,

"Listen there's Manuel override lever in the..." Cam explains,

"Green box out side the entrance to the hanger." CyberCam interrupts "I know, you programed that information into me,"

"Right, I forget sometimes, see if you can reset it from there, I'm going to call the rangers." Cam replies,

"On my way," CyberCam jumps on the desk and disappears while walking.

~~Action Games~~~

Desiree just skated by the others as her morpher beeped, "Crap." she skidded to a stop and skated over to the others,

"Rangers, I'm sending the zords to you, there's a big fish in a little pond you need to deal with," Cam informed them,

"Where are you guys going?" Kelly asks, "Desiree, you didn't even finish the race,"

"Bathroom," Dustin replies,

"yeah, you got to, you got to go," Desiree replies as she skated along side the others as they were making their way out.

"All of you?" Kelly asks,

"We'll be back, I promise." Shane replies,

~~~Outside Ninja Ops~~

CyberCam appears and looks at the trashed green box, "Hmm." he kneels down "this is not good,"

~~Rangers~~~

the Ninjas ran into a empty corner, well Desiree skated into the corner,

"Ready?" Shane asks,

"Ready" the others replies,

"Ninja Storm,"

"Fire Storm,"

"Thunder Storm,"

"Ranger Form, ha!"

The Rangers leapt into their zords, and formed the Storm and Thunder Phoenix Megazords since Angelica wasn't there to form the Ice Phoenix, then they combined, to form the Thunder Storm Phoenix Megazord, which was a first. Since Desiree didn't know that could happen.

"You guys ready to roll?" Shane asks,

"Yeah," the others answers,

Vexacus slashed at them with his sword, causing the Thunder Storm Phoenix to fall to the ground,

"You got to watch your step." Vexacus states,

"Come on, guys." Shane states.

"Lion Blaster!" the six Rangers shouted. But Vexacus just used his sword to block the attack, Shane summoned the Mammoth zord, and they launched and attack, seemly destroying Vexacus until he reappeared on his own zord.

"Land Shark!" he collided with the Thunder Storm Phoenix Megazord forcing it to revert to the Storm and Thunder Phoenix megazords.

The Rangers were trying to get up,

"Victory is mine!" Vexacus exclaims,

"I don't think so," Hunter replies,

"It's Thunder Time," Blake agrees,

"Hey, what about me?" Desiree asks, "Right, I'm in charge of flight controls and my part of the self-destruct "

"Power Disk, locked and dropped." The three rangers states, they summoned the serpent sword, and charged after Vexacus,

"Ready for more?" Vexacus asks, as he swung his sword at the thunder phoenix.

The Megazord flipped over him, and grabbed a hold of Vexacus,

"Watch out!" Shane exclaimed.

The Thunder Phoenix Megazord swung the serpent sword and trapped Vexacus against itself,

"Good bye, Thunder and Fire Rangers!" Vexacus exclaimed as he swung his sword into the Thunder Phoenix Megazord's chest,

"It's going to blow!" Shane exclaimed.

Tori gasps

"Get out of there!" Dustin exclaimed.

Sparks were flying around the Megazord's controls, Desiree, Hunter, Blake shouted as the megazord exploded along with Vexacus.

"No!" Shane exclaimed.

A ball of dark energy shot into the area where Marah and Kapri were searching. And the ground started to shake.

~~~~Ninja Ops~~~~

Angelica stared in horror at the wreckage of the Thunder Phoenix Megazord, the Thunder Brothers and her sister were gone. This was the second self sacrifice Desiree volunteered for.

"Cam, Angelica, we reached the Thunder and phoenix zord wreckage, it doesn't look good," Shane reported,

"Any sign of Hunter, Blake or Desiree?" Tori asks,

"I'm getting a lot of Infrared heat signatures in the area, but there's a lot of interference, I can't pinpoint an exact location," Cam answers,

"Keep trying to establish contact, we're head back to ops and regroup," Shane replies,

~~Outside~~~

CyberCam was still trying to repair the green box, when Lothor and his nieces materialized behind him,

"Hello, Cyber-nephew," Lothor greets,

Marah presses a button on the PAM and CyberCam is infected with a virus.

~~~Inside~~~

Angelica paced the floor trying to contact her sister thought the telepathic link, they shared. But kept getting nothing.

"This is so frustrating, I still can't get a fix on Hunter, Blake, and Desiree." Cam states,

"I'm giving myself a headache," Angelica adds,

"That's weird, CyberCam's gone too," Cam states,

Angelica went on alert, "What?"

"Keep trying, Keep trying." Sensai states,

"Yes, Cam." Lothor's voice agrees, "Keep trying."

Cam and Angelica turn around, the Ice Ninja took a defensive stance.

Marah and Kapri came in with CyberCam, he was struggling.

"Hey, That's my Cyber-Boyfriend." Angelica states, "Did I just say that?"

"Hello, nephew." Lothor greets,

Cam stands up and took his place beside Angelica, "How did you get in here?"

"Your reprogrammed Cybernetic replica lead us right in side," Lothor answers,

Kapri threw CyberCam to the floor where he craws away and disappeared.

"Then I used my DNA hand print, it's the same as my brother's" Lothor continues. "Or what used to be, to take us the rest of the way."

"I am no brother of yours," Sensai states, "Our family tie has long been broken,"

"You'll never get out of here with him," Cam declares, as he and Angelica step forward,

"I didn't come for him, nephew. I came for you." Lothor replies,

"You're dreaming Lothor." Cam replies,

"So keep dreaming." Angelica adds.

"Perhaps, but is it so wrong to dream of a world, where the ultimate evil rules over those who inhabit it," Lothor states, "Where I Lothor command an army of thousands, and all those who live in my shadow, must bow down to my greatest. Is that so wrong?"

"Uh, Yes." Cam and Angelica answers,

"Fine, have it your way," Lothor states and fires a ninja beam at Cam and Angelica, the two dive out of the way, and land on the floor.

Sensai and Lothor begins to fight one another. But Sensai is faster in his small form,

Sensai lands in his environment, as Marah and Kapri look at each other and began to destroy Ninja Ops.

Cam takes off his glasses and gets up, followed by Angelica as they both try and fight Lothor.

The evil space ninja sends both opponents to the ground where they could only watch helplessly as he destroys the rest of the place,

after he was finished Lothor grabs both Angelica's and Cam's arms forcing them to get up,

"Let them go!" Sensai exclaims as jumps to protect his son and his student, But Lothor sends an energy beam at Sensai, causing him to fly backwards into the storage closet.

"No!" Cam and Angelica shout.

"Dad/Sensai!"

Lothor drags the struggling ninja and samurai out of the ruins of Ninja Ops.

Shane, Tori, and Dustin return to find it destroyed.

"What happened?" Shane asks in shock

"It's trashed" Dustin replies,

"Cam, Angel, Sensai?" Shane calls out. "CyberCam? Where are they?"

"Don't worry, they're be here somewhere" Dustin answers,

"They have to be, if anyone can survive this, it's Cam, Angel, and Sensai." Tori agrees.

~~~Lothor's ship~~~

Cam and Angelica are tied up on a pillar,

"You're not going to get away with this Lothor," Cam states,

"Whatever you're doing, it won't work." Angelica adds,

"Oh ye of little faith," Lothor replies, then he unrolls a scroll, "Is that anyway to talk to your uncle?"

"The scroll of Destiny," Cam states, "That's been missing from the Wind Ninja Academy for years."

"The scroll of what?" Angelica asks looking at the pictures on the scroll, it shows Lothor leading an army and the army being destroyed.

"Before our ceremonious meeting in the past, I borrowed it to ensure my future. It's the key to my master plan," Lothor explains,

Angelica and Cam laughs,

"You based your plan on some beat up old piece of paper?" Cam asks,

"This piece of old paper has accurately predicted everything." Lothor replies, "See this part near the bottom, that's where I destroy earth once and for all."

"Aren't you missing something?" Angelica asks, "Where's the rest of the scroll?"

Lothor laughs, "Nice try, but save it. I know exactly what happens next," he walks up to Cam and rips off the amulet.

"No!" Cam and Angelica shout.

"It's payback time, nephew." Lothor states,
