Chapter 1: Thunder Storm parts 1 & 2
-Reefside-
Aria streaked through downtown before spotting the familiar silhouettes of three of her former teammates. She couldn't help but smile at them.
"Blake! Am I glad to see you" she heard Hunter greet
"Well fuck you too Hunter" she quipped
Her brothers turned around and gave her a hug before all three of them replaced their smiles with stern looks
"Came here as fast as I could, what's up?"
Cam gave a quick one armed, "We got trouble, big trouble" he said, nodding his end to the ground below
The Bradleys looked to the scene below and their eyes widened. Dustin, Tori, and Shane were fighting alongside a group of Kelzaks against a team of new and unfamiliar rangers. The new of rangers eventually left, limping away while the Winds stood there laughing menacingly.
Both Blake and Aria couldn't believe what they were seeing, both of them haven't seen their significant other in months and now it seemed that they would have to fight them.
Aria sighed and faced the three guys "What are we gonna do guys?"
"I don't know Ri, Cam?" Hunter asked hopefully
Cam looked to the ground for a second before turning on his heel walking away "The Abyss"
At those words the Bradleys' eyes widened in a mix of shock and fear "WHAT?!"
The three quickly chased Cam to catch up with him
"Are you crazy?" Blake said exasperated
"I take back anything I ever said about you being smart" Hunter added
"Um, do you not remember what happened to me the last time I was near the Abyss?" concluded Aria.
"Do you see what they've done?" Cam snapped "We have to get to the Abyss, it's out only chance"
"You were there right? You know what's inside that thing?" Hunter asked
It all suddenly clicked for Aria "Our powers…" she said quietly
"Exactly," Cam agreed "We have to get em back if we wanna have any chance of helping the Dino Rangers fight Tori, Shane, and Dustin"
Blake shook his head in frustration, Aria hung hers, and Hunter looked torn. None of them wanted to fight their friends; they had had enough of that in the beginning of their ranger days.
"No way, No! There is no possible way I'm going near that thing again. Or fight Tor!"
-Blue Bay Harbor-
-Abyss of Evil-
"I hope you realize that every time you say you're not gonna do something, you always end up doing it?" Aria teased as Blake nervously stood at the edge of the Abyss alongside Hunter and Cam
"I'm gonna say this again, this is a bad idea" he repeated "And why doesn't she have to go?" he added pointing to Aria who was standing a safe distance away
She crossed her arms and quirked an eyebrow "Well if you want me to use my dark powers to kill you then by all means, lower me in"
All Blake could do was glare at his little sister, oh how he missed her
"Ok let's go, and uh, stick together we split up we're through" Cam reminded before the three boys lowered themselves in
Aria stood outside toying with her gold necklace and tapping her foot. All she could do was wait.
Not two minutes later she heard the distinct ringtone of Hunter's phone, 'Of course he didn't change it' Aria thought to herself. She went into her brother's bag and fished it out, and pressed 'decline'. She tossed back in his bag and turned to face the Abyss once more. His phone began to ring again. She rolled her eyes and pressed 'decline' again. The damned thing rang for a third time and Aria angrily answered
"Hello?"
"Ri?"
"Lila?"
'Oh shit…' she thought
"You're in Blue Bay?"
"Um…"
"Is Hunter there? I need to talk to him" she sounded pissed
"Is everything alright with you two?"
Lila groaned through the phone, uh oh "He's hiding something, I know it. You know how many dates he's cancelled? He says he has work but he doesn't tell me what! And when he is free he says he's too tired to do shit?"
Ohhh, Aria knew what this was about.
"I'm sure he has a good reason" she tried
"Ugh! I'm sick of it! I love you Ri but if he doesn't tell me what's going on soon…"
Aria sighed internally, she was a afraid this would happen sooner or later
"Look Lila, just talk to Hunter, ok-" Aria was cut off by one of the boys screams.
"I gotta go"
"What the f-"
Aria ended the call and ran to the edge. The pull was there but it's significantly weaker than before.
"WHAT HAPPENED?" she called but got no answer, instead a white streak blurred past her and into the Abyss.
She jumped back and scooted away from the opening. Seconds later Hunter, Blake, and Cam stood before her along with Sensei.
"Are you guys ok?" she asked
"Yeah, come on we have to get to Ops" Cam said
The former rangers nodded and the four of them streaked back to their old headquarters.
-Ninja Ops-
Ops had definitely been renovated these past six months. The computer was much bigger and a major part of one wall was a map of Southern California. The short legged table was still there and the cushions of all the ranger colours were still there. There was a display case above the computer that had six stands.
Three of them held the Thunder Morphers and the other three were empty. Aria's heart clenched at the sight.
Cam sped towards the computer and took the remaining morphers out. He immediately began working so Aria took this time to confront Hunter
"Lila's onto you" she said bluntly
Ever the clueless male Hunter was completely oblivious "What?"
"She was calling you earlier, saying how she knows your hiding something"
He rubbed a hand over his face "What do I do now?"
Aria raised her hands in surrender "Uh, you're my brother and she's my friend, I ain't getting involved"
Hunter groaned and went off towards Sensei; their backs faced the others and spoke in hushed tones.
"DONE!" Cam announced. He shot up from his chair and handed the Thunders their old morphers along with new Ninja Discs for the Winds.
"We have to get them to put these in their morphers; it'll reverse Lothor's control over them"
"How though?" Blake wondered
The three Thunders nodded, strapped their morphers on; the familiar weight on Aria's left wrist seemed to comfort her somehow.
Before anyone could answer Blake's question the alarms blared and the map on the wall zoomed in on the Hoverbridge in Reefside. It showed a video feed of the six primary coloured rangers facing off
"Speak of the devil" Aria sighed
"Let's go" Cam called
With a nod the four of them streaked out of Ops
-Reefside-
-Hoverbridge-
They raced to the bridge and made it just in time to stop the Winds from morphing.
"Wait!" Blake yelled
"Wait a minute, Blake?" a short girl in yellow with wavy brown hair asked "That's how I know you! You're a Power Ranger!" her round eyes then landed on Aria "No way! Aria too? I saw your band on Totally Talented, you're a ranger too!?"
Aria was flattered but she had a role to play right now. She and the three guys stared the Dinos down and walked to the Winds
"Good, cause we could use all the help we can get!" a guy in blue exclaimed
"We're not here to help you guys out, we stick with our own kind" Blake said
"Lothor showed us the error of our ways" Hunter added
'Really Hunter?' Aria thought to herself
"Whoever doesn't follow us, we'll destroy" Aria concluded
"This is gonna be great!" Dustin cheered
"Wait!" Cam held a hand up "First, you have to take these a little power boost, direct from the Abyss of Evil."
"But we already have our powers" Tori frowned, clearly annoyed
"Not these ones" Hunter stated, he wasn't technically lying
"You better be right about this" Shane sneered before grabbing his disc from Cam's open hand
"Have we ever been wrong?" Aria said
The Winds placed their new discs in their morphers, activated them, and then fell on their back from the shock.
The remaining four Ninjas helped them up
"Dude what happened? My bell is seriously rung" Dustin complained as Hunter helped him up.
When he finally got up his eyes fell on Aria who rushed forward and embraced him.
"Ri, what are you doing here?"
Aria stepped out of his hug but kept an arm around his waist
"How did we get here? Last thing I remember-" Tori asked after embracing Blake in a similar manner
"Lothor" Blake finished "He's back"
"Yeah we know Sensei told us" Shane said
"That wasn't Sensei" Hunter revealed
"No dude I know Sensei when I see him" Dustin tried
"No, it was Lothor" Aria repeated
"Ok unless it was Lothor dressed as Sensei huh?"
Aria pursed her lips and patted his shoulder as the new rangers stepped forward
A very familiar looking guy in red with shaggy brown hair spoke up first, "Ok this is all highly amusing, but does someone want to tell me what's going on?"
"Well, do ya'll have a headquarters?" Aria asked
-Cave-
Aria and the other rangers were brought to a cave in the middle of the woods. Inside was dimly lit and was much bigger than Ops. There was a large desk at the back of the cave that had a large computer resting on top of it. The ninja learned the Dino's names; Hayley (the female version of Cam essentially), Conner, Kira, Ethan, Trent, and the legendary Tommy Oliver. Aria couldn't believe it; her successor was freakin TOMMY OLIVER! Dustin had told her about previous ranger teams and Aria did some of her own research and saw just how bad ass he was. Anyway, back to the story
"We were about to fall inside the Abyss, but dad got there just in time" Cam explained to all the other rangers
"So faked being on Lothor's side to get you to take the right Ninja Discs" Hunter finished
"It's a good thing you guys showed up when you did" the red ranger, Conner commented
Shane scoffed "Good thing for you guys"
Everyone laughed
"Whatever dude"
"No I'm just playing, you guys fight like rock stars"
"I for one will take that as a compliment" the yellow ranger, Kira stated
Dustin bumped fists with Ethan and Tori and Kira shared a small smiles.
"We're glad you're here but now it's time to get down to business" Dr. O said
"Tommy is right, we have a serious problem on our hands" Sensei added
"This is gonna take all of us" Tommy thought aloud. The twelve rangers stole glances at one another in a silent agreement with Tommy.
Right now they were playing the waiting game so the rangers busied themselves. Aria was talking to Kira about her band when her phone rang, the caller ID said Lila.
"Uh, sorry give me a sec" she excused herself
"Lils?" she asked
"Where are you?"
"Uh…Reefside"
"Emergency band meeting…Now!"
"I can't leave dude, I'm in the middle of something"
"I'm getting the girls we'll be there in an hour"
"No Lila-"
Lila had hung up
Aria sighed and pocketed her phone, Dustin came up behind her "Everything ok?"
Aria laughed lightly "Hunter's in the doghouse"
Dustin laughed a little too before getting a serious look on his face, "Where've you been Ri?"
Aria couldn't look him in the eye so she stared at her shoes "I can't tell you…I know it's been hard"
Aria turned to face him, "But hopefully I can tell you soon"
Dustin sighed and pulled her into his chest.
-Later-
Hayley, Sensei, and Dr. O stood by the computer when the alarms blared. The video feed showed an army of aliens and monsters; some familiar and others never seen before. They must've been Mesogogs creations.
"It's time; let's show them what teamwork's really all about" Dr. O encouraged.
-Quarry-
Both teams raced down to the quarry. When they got there they stood in a line and faced their enemies.
"Let's be careful" Tommy reminded "But let's get it done"
Aria smiled "Oh it's good to be back"
"You guys ready?" Conner called
"Ready!"
"DINO THUNDER! POWER UP"
"WHITE RANGER! DINO POWER"
"NINJA STORM! RANGER FORM!"
"THUNDERSTORM! RANGER FORM!"
"SAMURAI STORM! RANGER FORM!"
"HA!"
"Tyranno!"
"Tricera!"
"Ptera!"
"Brachio!"
"Drago!"
"DINO THUNDER!"
"Power of Air!"
"Water!"
"Earth!"
"Crimson Thunder!"
"Navy Thunder!"
"Black Thunder!"
"Samurai Power!"
"NINJA STORM!"
The combined team of eleven leapt down from the cliff
"RANGER POWER!"
On the opposing side a lady in too much black leather screeched "ATTACK!"
The six primary coloured straddled their bikes and rode off to meet the army of aliens. Shane and Conner teamed up to blast two unfamiliar big-headed aliens, Tori and Kira went for the lady in leather, Elsa, and Dustin and Ethan went for some of the old aliens from their Ninja Storm days. Hunter and Blake fought off multiple monsters, Trent and Cam handled the foot soldiers, and finally Tommy and Aria double teamed Zurgane.
Aria called her Black Daggers and grinned at the familiar weight in her hands before effortlessly throwing them in the center of his chest. While he was distracted she used her Thunder Whip to slash him. Soon Tommy leapt through and landed a hard kick on his shoulder. Now using her Thunder Staff Aria fought alongside Tommy with his Brachio Staff.
The landed a few feet apart and Zurgane took this time to try and fire at Tommy. Aria was faster however as she used her Thunder Shield to revert the blast to Zurgane.
"I'll take it from here! Brachio Staff Energy Orb!" Tommy cried
The blast ended Zurgane and the two black rangers turned away.
The two teams regrouped and complimented each other on their battles.
"Nice job you guys" Shane said, reaching his hand out
"You too" Conner returned and shook his hand
At this point Marah and Kapri fell out of the sky
"Oh joy" Aria mumbled
"Hey Cam!" they called
"What are you doing here?"
"Is that any way to treat family?" Kapri asked
"Yeah especially if we have a present for you?" Marah added
They revealed a dark red bottle; uncapping it they released the Ninja Students.
Marah and Kapri then ripped their ugly space ninja gear to reveal their normal Ninja Uniforms.
The rangers went over and greeted the students to see if they were okay.
-Cave-
The rangers returned to the cave to survey the damage on the Samurai Amulet.
"I'm afraid it's dead" Hayley informed sadly "Lothor's extraction of the powers left us enough energy for one last battle"
"Well I guess it's a good thing we got you guys" Shane said with some remorse
"You've done your part" Conner reassured "It's our turn to take over what you left off"
"There's just one thing that I don't understand" Dustin said, walking by Tommy with Aria under his arm
"What's that?"
"Who rescued Sensei?"
Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum took this time to jump up, explaining how they literally dragged him out of Lothor's prison.
"Um, hey it's time to get down and dirty!" Blake cheered as they all got ready for Blake's race.
-Motocross Track-
Dressed in denim shorts, fishnets, purple crop top, and converse Aria cheered her brother on with the others as he demolished the track. He easily out maneuvered the other riders and took first place. The boys hoisted him on their shoulders and they all hooted and hollered in excitement.
When the excitement died down Hayley offered drinks at her café, Cyberspace.
On their way there she got a call from Lila
"I'm in Reefside, girls are with me where you at?"
This is what she loved about Lila; she was a crazy ass bitch
"Are you sure about this?"
"Where are you?"
Aria sighed "Go to Cyberspace"
-Cyberspace Café-
All the rangers stood about the café and talked amongst themselves. Suddenly the doors flew open and the other girls of Black Magic came in.
"Oh…my…God" Kira said in awe
Aria headed over and Lila started all over again
"How many songs do you remember?"
Aria was taken aback "Um…all of them?"
"Even the ones we all wrote together?"
"Yeah…what are you doing Lila?"
"Follow my lead"
Aria sighed and shot Hunter a look that just said 'You're fucked'
Lila exchanged a few words with Hayley who stood behind the bar and then made her way to the small stage. She was followed by Desi and Nami but Aria walked a little slower
"I don't have my guitar…"
Kira suddenly sprung up and handed her a bright yellow guitar, "Use mine, I always leave it here for when I have gigs"
Aria smiled gratefully and began setting up.
Soon everything was set and Lila spoke into her mic from behind the drum set. "Hey everyone, now after six months of hiatus, Black Magic has returned. And this is dedicated to a special someone"
Multiple pairs of eyes fell on Hunter
"Here is You Don't Know Me"
(A/N: Lila)
You think you know me
But you don't know me
You think you own me
But you can't control me
You look at me
And there's just one thing that you see
So listen to me
Listen to me
You push me back
I push you back
Harder, harder
You scream at me
I scream at you
Louder, l-l-l-l-louder
I'm dangerous, I'm warning you
But you're not afraid of me
And I can't convince you
You don't know me
You think you got me
But you don't get me
You think you want me
But you don't know what you're getting into
There's so much more to me
then what you think you see
So listen to me
Just listen to me
You push me back
I push you back
Harder, harder
You scream at me
I scream at you
Louder, l-l-l-l-louder
I'm dangerous, I'm warning you
But you're not afraid of me
And I can't convince you
You don't know me
You push me back
I push you back
You scream at me
I scream at you
Louder [9x]
You push me back
I push you back
Harder, harder
You scream at me
I scream at you
Louder, l-l-l-l-louder
I'm dangerous, I'm warning you
But you're not afraid of me
And I can't convince you
And I don't have to
I think you know me
Afterwards, the rangers erupted in applause before the band stepped down. Lila made a beeline for Hunter while the other band members began mingling around. Lila and Hunter stepped outside leaving everyone else curious as to what was going to happen.
Suddenly they heard Lila screech "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
"Well, cats out the bag…" Aria joked as Dustin wrapped an arm around her.
-Later-
It was well into the night when everyone went their separate ways. Aria knew it was time to leave again, everyone else did too.
They repeated the same process as last time; they stood in a line as Aria said goodbye.
Of course Dustin's goodbye lasted longer than anyone else's but now she really had to go.
"I promise I'll explain everything soon" she whispered before walking away "I love you guys!" she called before taking off.
When she was out of sight she looked back at the rangers in the café before streaking to the woods.
-Woods-
She found a random tree, focused her magic and stepped through.
