"AH." The Navy Thunder Ranger exclaimed as he was dropped in the middle of some sort of island. He sat up, shaking his head gently. He looked around him. His heart stopped when he saw no sign of Tori.

"Oh no." He muttered as he jumped to his feet. "Tori!" He called out. He looked over to the edge of the island and saw her slowly crawling out of the ocean coughing. He ran to her as she collapsed tiredly onto the ground. "Tori? Are you all right?" He asked. He helped her sit up. Tori coughed a bit more.

"Oh yeah, just need to work on my landings." She sighed. She looked up. "Where are we?" She asked. The Navy Thunder Ranger sighed.

"I dunno." He said. He stood up, helping her up as well. Tori stumbled slightly against him. He caught her. She looked up at him. "You sure you're ok?" He asked.

"Cut me some slack. Lothor and Dumb and Dumber lit me up with god knows how much of electricity, and I just landed in the middle of an ocean. I'm not exactly Ms. Mary Sunshine of OK-ness right now."

"A simple yes or no would've worked." He said as he led her away from the water.

"What did you do?!" The Crimson Thunder Ranger demanded as he tried to get at Lothor. Kelzacks held him back.

"The same that I will do to you if you ever think about double crossing me." Lothor replied.

"You killed him?" The ranger exclaimed.

"Oh no. I would never." He replied. "Just, put him and his little girlfriend out of the way." The Crimson Thunder Ranger shook off the Kelzacks. He "glared" at Lothor and left. Lothor looked at Zurgane.

"Send Whiplash to take care of the two rangers." He grinned. "Just because I never would kill him, doesn't mean someone else wont."

Tori and The Navy Thunder Ranger sat in a cavern. He had tried teleported them out of there, or contacting the Crimson Ranger, but it seemed his communicator wasn't working. Tori sighed.

"I can't believe this. It's like this whole experience is getting from bad, to worse, to unbelievably horrendous."

"Everything'll be ok." The Navy Ranger assured her. "Just as long as nothing p-"

"I suggest you don't say anything that starts with 'just as long', 'atleast' or 'it could be worse'. The last thing I need is you jinxing us."

"Are you always this nice and friendly, or is this just because of our situation?" He asked.

"Oh, no, I'm always this way to people who attack me and my friends on a daily basis." She smirked. The Navy Thunder Ranger decided not to answer that. He looked out the cavern.

"Since it looks like we're gonna be here a while, we might as well start building a fire or something." He said. Tori looked at him.

"All right." She said. She went to stand up. The Navy Thunder Ranger stopped her.

"You stay here." He said. "I'll go get some firewood." Tori glared at him.

"Just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean I'm totally useless." She said.

"Did I say that?" He asked. "You're hurt, and plus, we don't know if we're completely alone here. You'll be safe here. I have my suit, you don't even have your morpher."

"And whose fault is that?" She countered. "It's not like I dropped it whilst teetering on the edge of conciousness." The Navy Thunder Ranger seemed to glare at her. Why did she have to be so sarcastic and cold?

"I'm going to go get firewood." He said through clenched teeth. He walked out. "Stay here." He ordered over his shoulder.

"Who died and made you ruler of all?" She muttered under her breath.

())))())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

The Navy Thunder Ranger walked along the island, picking up sticks, wood, anything that could help build a fire. He used this time to make himself calm down, which was a task easier said then done. Things with Tori were seeming to be all right..albeit she was a prisoner at the time, but still. They seemed to have been connecting. And now, she was rehashing stuff that he did or whatever and becoming mean. She made him so angry. A part of his mind told him that wasn't the whole reason why he was angry. And, that was true. He was angry because he did actually have feelings for her. He didn't know what it was exactly. But the times he and his fellow Thunder Ranger spied on her and her teammates, he'd get a stirring in his heart at the sight of her. She was beautiful, yet she didn't seem to really relay on that, or even fully aknowledge it, which only made her even more beautiful. She was a good opponent, fighting wise. Even if he and his comrade where beating the daylights out of them all, she didn't just roll over and play dead or anything. Maybe his feelings for her was what made him decide that she would be the ranger they would capture. His desire to be near her. And it was those feelings that made him save her from the torture device. Those feelings that got them both transported to this place. The Navy Thunder Ranger sighed. He decided he had collected a sufficient amount of wood and made his way back to the cavern. Back to the girl who's face invaded his thoughts. Back to the girl who was a thorn in his side. The girl he wanted to protect and keep safe more then his own life itself.

The Crimson Thunder Ranger stood alone in a corner of the ship. He was so angry. He was angry at Lothor for doing away with his partner. And angry at The Navy Thunder Ranger for stupidly putting himself in the position of being a traitor. He sighed and stood up straight. He knew what he had to do if he ever wanted his comrade to be returned safely. He really didn't want to, but, it was his only choice.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures." He muttered to himself as he teleported off the ship.
