"Owen! Will you hurry up already! We told Clarke we'd meet him in
like 10 minutes!" Hailey Bradley yelled up the stairs. She heard a door
slam and saw her twin brother barreling down to the landing.
'Geeze, calm down Hail. It's not like the world's going to end,' he thought. His twin gave him a dirty look.
"I heard that," she said back as they walked into the kitchen.
"Hey! No fair using your powers," he said moving in front of her as they entered the room. Hailey walked over to where her father was sipping his coffee. She kissed the top of his head.
"Morning daddy," she said sitting down. Owen plopped down next to him.
"Hey dad." Blake smiled at his children. They looked so much like him and Tori it was scary. Almost like the perfect combination of the two. They both had his tanned skin, and a few of his facial features, but their eyes were defiantly Tori's. Like a striking crystal blue. Their hair was a dark blonde with subtle pieces of black thrown in. Owen wore his in a messy fashion, while Hailey's was always combed perfectly straight, unless she decided to curl it.
Tori walked in with her hair still dripping from the water. "Awe mum! Why didn't you tell me you were going out this morning? I so would have gone with you," Hailey said looking a bit disappointed. Tori went over and ruffled her daughter's hair a bit.
"Trust me, you didn't miss much. Besides you both have a long day ahead of you," she said grinning at Blake. They did have a busy day. Today they would be tested at the academy in their respective elements- Hailey in water and Owen in thunder.
"Especially you O. I heard that instructor's a pain in the ass," he smirked. Tori went over and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Yea, I heard that about your teacher too Hail," she said smiling. The two siblings looked at each other and started laughing.
"C'mon! You mean you're really going to be that hard on us?" Owen said getting up.
"Not any harder than the other students," Tori said grabbing her coffee. "But you two better go get your cousin before you're late for warm ups." Hailey went to grab for the keys to the van when they flew off the counter and into her brother's hand.
"Now who's using their powers?" she smirked. Owen smiled sweetly at her and ran out to the van. Hailey ran out after him.
Blake settled his coffee down and drew Tori into his lap. He kissed her lightly on the cheek. "Can you believe them?" he said smiling at her. Tori shook her head and put her coffee down.
"I told them no to use their powers like that," she said linking her fingers with his. He kissed her sweetly on the lips.
"But they need to. Sensei said that that's the only way they'll learn how to harness them," he said. Tori smiled and let out a small laugh.
"It just makes me nervous. I don't want anything to happen to them," she said resting her head on his shoulder. Blake put an arm around her and stroked her back lovingly.
"Tor- it's been eighteen years and nothing's happened. They're safer now then they ever have been." He said kissing her cheek. Tori's mind wandered back to the horrific days prior to their birth.
An ancient scroll talked of two beings born of Thunder and Water that will hold great powers. They would be born on the night of a blazing sky, and would destroy the greatest of evil. When Tori and Blake found out they were pregnant with twins they were ecstatic until they heard this. Tori was eight months pregnant when Taka, an evil being bent on obtaining their powers, came and kidnapped Tori. He kept her hostage for a week. On the night of a meteor shower, Tori went into labor inside his ship. Blake and the others managed to get her out just in time. Both Owen and Hailey were born on the beach and delivered by their uncle, Hunter. Blake fought Taka, but he didn't destroy him- his main concern being on Tori.
Taka got away but swore revenge. This thought had kept both parents as well as their family on high alert. They never really knew what to expect the powers to be, but when the twins were about four, they started moving things around the house with their minds- a sort of telekinesis. Owen channeled his through his hands, and Hailey with her eyes. Over time they also developed a form of telepathy with each other that often drove their parents and friends crazy.
"Tor? You alright?" he asked seeing the look of concern on her face. Snapping back to reality, she nodded her head.
"Yeah. I'm fine," she said kissing him softly. "But we really should get going too. We do have classes to teach today."
They, as well as the others, had been made teachers at the academy. They had all the key elements taken care of- Cam and his wife Laura took care of the Samurais, Dustin had the earth ninjas, Tori the water, Blake, Hunter, and Hunter's wife Sarah took care of the thunders, and Marah took care of the students who weren't quite sure where they belonged. As far as the air ninjas were concerned, Sensei took care of those himself. After Shane's death, they couldn't bring themselves to hiring on another teacher to take his place. His battle with cancer ended nearly 18 years ago, but he still remained with them- always as their leader in spirit.
Tori emerged from the bedroom clad in her uniform. Blake was nowhere to be seen. She walked into their backyard, and still could not find her husband. Suddenly she felt two arms go around her waist, and a sweet voice whispered in her ear. "I'll race you there," he whispered before disappearing in a flash of navy light. Tori flashed a huge smile and took off after him.
(((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))
"I was wondering when you two would show up," the strawberry blonde haired boy said as he hopped into the van. Clarke Bradley bore a striking resemblance to his father Hunter, but he had his mother Sarah's round shaped face.
"Good to see you too cuz," Hailey said giving him a high five. They both jerked to the left side of the car as Owen made a sharp turn.
"Easy O! We'll go to the track later!" Clarke said straightening in his seat. Both he and Owen shared their dads' love for racing. Hailey was a descent challenge on the track when she wasn't out on the waves. They reached the secret entrance to the academy and walked in.
Hailey caught something lurking in the bushes near where they entered. 'Owen.' She said to her twin in her head. Owen turned to look at her. 'I think someone's trying to ambush us,' she told him motioning to her left. Owen gave her a sly look and nodded his head.
"Austin Wantanabe, you know you should never sneak up on a poor defenseless little girl," she said eyeing the bush. There was a small rustle in the shrub and a very tall boy in a green Samurai suit emerged.
"Alright Hailey- you caught me," he said leaning down to kiss his girlfriend. Hailey noticed he had a small smile on his face. He raised his head and looked behind Owen and Clarke. They heard the ground shake beneath their feet. The two boys turned around and saw a girl in an earth uniform in a fighting stance.
"You ready cuz?" she said to Austin. He nodded and soon they five teens were sparring. Austin and Hailey were going at it while Owen and Clarke had their hands full with the girl in yellow. After a few missed attempts, Clarke pinned the girl to the ground.
"Alright! I give!" she shouted laughing. The others ended their practice as well and walked over to where Clarke was helping her up.
"You're getting really good at that 'coming out of nowhere thing' Shayne," Owen said giving her a high five. The pretty brunette nodded her head trying to catch her breath. She had her father Dustin's amazing eyes and her mother Marah's long chocolate locks.
"You alright?" Austin asked going over to his cousin. He looked identical to Cam at that age, minus the glasses, but you could see some indication of his mother Laura in his sweet smile. Shayne nodded and they all headed up to the main grounds to begin their lessons for the day.
"You'll never guess what my mum told me this morning," Austin said. They all looked at him inquisitively.
"What?" Shayne asked.
"Well, you remember how they always said we'd be the strongest together when all the elements were completed?" they all nodded. "Well, she said we were getting a new student today- that he would complete out little group." Since the day the children were born they were told of their parents' great achievements as Power Rangers. They were legends in the Ninja world now, and everyone looked up to them.
As soon as they were old enough to understand, they were also told of their Uncle Shane's unfortunate death, and they all had a special piece of him with them.
Shayne, was named after him- Owen, after his middle name- and Clarke after his last. They all knew that once all the ninja powers were joined together, a great bond would be shared creating the same power their parents once shared.
Shayne sighed. "I wonder who it could be?" she said as they saw everyone already in line. They scrambled quickly to take their places.
'Geeze, calm down Hail. It's not like the world's going to end,' he thought. His twin gave him a dirty look.
"I heard that," she said back as they walked into the kitchen.
"Hey! No fair using your powers," he said moving in front of her as they entered the room. Hailey walked over to where her father was sipping his coffee. She kissed the top of his head.
