"Ahh," Hunter said craning his neck. "Those pads did nothing. My neck
is like killing me."
"Yea dude, I hear ya," Dustin said cracking his back. Shane came up and patted him on the back.
"I slept great."
"Dude, you fall asleep standing up. You can sleep anywhere," he retorted.
"Yea. It's a gift," he said striking a pose. Dustin punched him in the arm. Cam came out of his room followed by Blake and Tori a few minutes later. The guys all had stupid smirks on their faces when they came out holding hands, but the happy couple dismissed them and walked over to the computer where Cam was seated.
"Guys we got trouble," he said. Zurgane was in his favorite spot- the rock quarry.
"Aliens in the quarry, big surprise," Shane said. "You guys ready?"
"Ready."
"Ninja Storm,"
"Thunder Storm,"
"Samurai Storm,"
"Ranger Form, ha!" Within seconds the group was in a heated battle with the kelzacks and Zurgane, Hunter and Shane took on the metal mouth, while Cam, Tori, Dustin, and Blake took care of the Kelzacks.
"Where is it?" Shane said slashing his chest.
"You'll never find the weather machine!" he cried back knocking him down. Hunter pulled out his crimson blaster and knocked Zurgane back. He helped Shane up. Zurgane raised his hands to the sky and called an alien down. It landed next to him.
"Dude, ever hear of a haircut!" Shane yelled. The alien had wild long hair and a disgusting looking mouth that oozed with a black liquid.
"If I id that, I wouldn't be able to do this!" it cried as two of it's long locks grabbed them and threw them to the ground. The others finished with the Kelzacks and went to help their friends. Tori was the last to reach them. She stopped dead in her tracks. The creature was the same one from her dream. She saw Blake charge at it and was knocked down. She immediately shot her ninja beams at the creature and ran to her injured boyfriend.
"Blake? You alright?" she asked shaking.
"Yea I'm fine."
"That's the thing from my dream." She said so only he could hear. Blake rose to his feet.
"Stay close to me then," he said as they all started battling again.
The alien grabbed Hunter, Shane, Dustin and Cam with its hair and flung them far away into the air. They all landed several miles away in a remote area.
"We have to get back there!" Cam cried. "Cam for Tori!" he called into his communicator. Tori didn't respond.
"C'mon!" Shane called as they streaked their way back.
Meanwhile back at the quarry Tori and Blake were struggling. The creature made a lunge at Blake but Tori threw herself in front of him.
"Tori!" he cried. The creature saw his moment of weakness, grabbed Tori with one of his strands and took off with her. Blake called for his tsunami cycle and raced after them.
((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))
"Excellent," Luther said as he watched the blue ranger being captured. "Just a little more, then I'll release my next 'Wave' of destruction." He said laughing.
((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))
Tori found herself lying on the beach with the hideous creature drooling black ooze over her. She heard the familiar sound of a motorbike. The creature looked away for a moment and Tori saw her opportunity. She kipped up and slashed the creature with her ninja sword. Blake blasted it with his cycle. He dismounted and ran to Tori.
"You alright?" she nodded her head. Suddenly she got a horrible pain in her head- it was like a giant tidal wave crashing down on her. She fell to her knees in pain. Blake knelt down beside her. She glanced up at the sea. The waves were beginning to build higher and higher. She felt the ground begin to shake a little. 'Oh god' she thought.
"Blake you have to get out of here! Lothor's sending a tidal wave! I can feel it."
"I won't leave you!" he cried back as the waves began to edge closer to them. Tori finally pushed him off her.
"Please go! I'm going to try and stop it!" before he could say no, he was hit in the back. The creature and him went at it while Tori stood firm staring at the raging sea. The wave began to form. She saw it coming closer to shore. She concentrated with everything she had.
"I summon Blue Ninja Powers of the Rising Waters!" she cried holding out her hands. The wave was now towering over her, but she didn't break. It stopped just before it crashed. She pushed her hands forward and the wave crashed back into the sea. She fell to her knees, exhausted. Blake and creature stopped mid battle and watched all this happen. The creature saw this and immediately went back to the ship.
((((((((((((((((((()())))))))))))))))))))))
"There!" Shane shouted. They had made their way to the beach to see Tori leaning on Blake for support.
"You guys alright?" Hunter asked.
"Yea, we're fine," Tori said trying to smile.
"Power sown," Shane called. They all stood there in their uniforms looking around.
"Wasn't there like an alien here a minute ago?" Dustin asked scratching his head.
"There was," Blake began. "But I think Tori scared him off." The others looked at Tori for an explanation. She told them how she felt the wave coming and stopped it.
"Really, guys I'm fine. I just need some rest," she said trying to convince them to let her go home. Cam gave her a questioning look.
"Cam, I'm fine. I just need to go home and sleep." She said with a small smile.
"Alright. But you come to ops the second you're alright." Tori nodded her head in agreement. Blake volunteered to help her home leaving the others still miffed.
"What did she mean by she felt the wave coming?" Hunter asked.
"I think we should go speak to my father. Maybe he can fill us in on what happened." Cam said.
"Sorry dude, but we have to go see if Kelly's alright at the store. I guess that cyclone, or whatever it was ripped right past there," Shane said. Cam headed back to Ops while the others ran to Storm Chargers.
(((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))
Blake and Tori slowly made there way back to her apartment. Trees and power lines were scattered all over the ground. They entered the small apartment to find a few papers scattered around, but nothing too major. Tori was glad that her power had been restored. Blake helped Tori into her room and laid her down on the bed.
"Blake, I really don't need all this. I'm fully capable of-" she was cut off by her lips being devoured by his. He put his hand behind her head and brought her closer.
"Wow," she said breathlessly.
"You really scared me out there," he said running his fingers through her hair. She sat up and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. "You really should get some rest. Tori nodded and settled back down.
"You should too," she said giving him a playful smile. "Just stay. Please?" she asked.
"How can I say no?" he said lying down next to her.
"You know how a water ninja recharges?" she asked staring at the ceiling.
"How?"
"They immerse themselves in water and let it seep through every orifice of their body." She still kept her eyes focused on the ceiling. Blake had turned and was staring at her. He knew what she was saying was an old traditional routine, but the way she said it made him want her. She turned her head with a sly smile on her lips.
"I think I'm going to go draw a bath," she got up still leaving Blake staring at her. He heard the water turn on and slowly the aroma of vanilla stole over him. A few minutes later Tori popped her head out of the door.
"You coming or what?" she said turning back. Blake ran over to the door but slowed down when he reached it. What he saw when he looked in nearly knocked him over. Tori was standing with her back to him. She removed her top, now nude, and slipped into he warm bubbly water. Blake quickly undressed and sat behind her.
"I highly doubt this is what Cam meant by resting," he whispered laying a kiss on her neck.
Tori closed her eyes and sighed deeply. "I really could care less right now," she said smiling. She turned her head and gave Blake a sweet kiss. He rubbed her back and shoulders until he felt her completely relax.
"You are really good at those," she said.
"What can I say? I got mad skills." He said laughing. Tori turned around and splashed him. He returned the gesture and soon they were engaged in a water war.
"Alright! I surrender!" Tori cried as Blake had her pinned against the end of the tub. They were both cracking up. Blake Kissed her passionately and backed away satisfied in his victory.
"I think I'll let you really get some rest. I'll dry off and then head out for a little alright?" Tori made a pouty face at him.
"I love you too," he said kissing her quickly. He got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around his waist. Tori saw her opportunity and created a small spout in the tub with her powers and called him. He turned around only to be greeted by a stream of water connecting with his face. He swiped his face.
"Okay- that was a cheap shot," he said. Tori got out of the tub and gave him a sweet kiss.
"I love you," she said sounding sorry. Blake pulled her in kissed her forehead.
"Alright- get dried off and go lie down. I'll call you if we need you, even if we don't." he went out got dressed and left. Tori changed into her oversized T-shirt and settled into bed.
((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))
"What do you mean by visions Sensei?" Dustin asked. They had returned from the store that was thankfully unharmed.
"Tori's powers are growing at an accelerated rate, and I believe that it is happening for a reason." Sensei said.
"So all her nightmares are like predictions?" Shane said. Sensei nodded his head.
"As I told her, some students that are studying in the form of water are given this 'gift of sight.' Tori's visions are sure to come true, so it is in everyone's best interest to pay attention to your surroundings and look to her for any abnormalities in behavior."
"That would explain why she froze when we saw that freak," Hunter said.
"It was the same one from one of her dreams," Blake said as he entered Ops. "You guys wanted to know why she was so exhausted that day we went to the mall? She kept having those dreams and couldn't sleep." Dustin and Shane hung their heads, feeling dumb for assuming things.
"Has she gotten anymore?" Cam asked. Blake nodded his head.
"As far as I know she's had two. And the only thing that was familiar was that alien we met earlier."
"So her visions have not yet come to pass." Sensei said. "We must all be alert. Lothor will strike again soon, and when he does we must be prepared for anything." The boys all nodded and left Ops leaving Cam to monitor for anything.
Sensei couldn't have been more right. As they spoke he was planning his next attack.
"Zurgane! What did I tell you? I said not to return unless they were destroyed!" he cried.
"Sir, I-"
"Just shut up and get back down there with that thing of yours with the hair and FINISH THEM!" the ship shook with his last words. Zurgane disappeared with his latest protégé back to earth.
(((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))
Tori woke up a few hours later. She rose, dressed and went for a walk. She was well rested now and ready for anything. The sun was trying to peak its way through the still grey clouds. She was within walking distance of the beach so she headed that way. The sea was calm now and she glanced out towards the horizon. She removed her shoes and put them down on the still damp sand. She walked along the water's edge feeling the sea air through her hair. She breathed deeply as the air filled her lungs. Just as she was heading back to her shoes a blast came out of nowhere knocking her to the ground. She looked up to see the creature from her dream away in the distance approaching.
"Guys! I need backup!" she cried into her communicator. She waited for a response, but only got static. 'Lothor's devise must be screwing with the system' she thought to herself.
"Looks like I'm on my own for a bit. Ninja Storm Ranger Form. Ha!" she cried. In a flash of blue light Tori reappeared ready for battle. The alien charged at her and she slashed at it with her ninja sword. The creature struck back with two razor sharp scissor-like weapons and slashed her sides. Tori fell to the ground writhing in pain. The creature threw out a long strand of its nappy hair- it wrapped tightly around Tori's body creating a cocoon type of trap. Tori struggled to get free, but couldn't.
"Try all you want blue ranger, but the more you struggle, the tighter and more painful your constraints will become." It let out a devilish laugh.
"My friends will save me!" she cried back. The creature extended it's hand- the casing around Tori shocked her with energy causing her to black out. The alien picked her up and disappeared.
(((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))
Blake walked over to check on Tori. He had a huge grin plastered on his face as he thought about her. He never thought anyone could ever open his heart like she had. After his parents passed away he had felt empty. Now with Tori in his life, he felt like the piece that was missing had been found. He walked up to her door and lightly tapped. No answer came. He knocked again and got he same response. 'That's weird,' he thought. He remembered she told him where the spare key as. He reached up above the doorframe and grabbed the key. He walked in and made his way to her room. Tori wasn't there. Blake looked around once more and then left again. All of a sudden his heart started pounding in his chest. He knew there was something wrong with her. He started off running- not exactly sure where his feet would take him.
He hit the sand as he tripped over something. He was at the beach frantically scanning the water. He looked down to see what he had tripped on. It was unmistakably Tori's sandal. He picked it up and began looking for her again. He saw some blackened sand and signs of a fresh battle. He ran over and reached for his communicator.
"Guys! I need help at the beach- Tori-" he was cut off by static like she had been. He dropped her shoe and followed the footprints in the sand. It led him through a small inlet and up a path to the top of a ridge. When he reached the top he felt his heart stop. He saw Tori wrapped in a net of tangled hair. The alien threw her into a tree. Blake felt his fists begin to rise. "Thunder Storm Ranger Form!" he cried. ((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))
Cam's head shot up. He was getting a reading on the alien. "Guys, I've-" again with the static. "Why does this always happen?!" he yelled in frustration.
"Why does what always happen?" Hunter asked as he, Shane, and Dustin came own the stairs.
"good- you guys are here. That freak with the hair's back. I'm having trouble reaching Tori and Blake."
"Where is it?" Shane asked.
"looks like the beach area."
"I bet they're there already," Dustin said punching Hunter in the arm. He smirked at him and they headed to the scene.
((((((((((((())))))))))))
The alien towered over Tori. She was barely conscious and could feel him over her. Just as he raised his sword above her he was grabbed around the waist. He turned to find himself in the clutches of the navy ranger's antler. Blake sent shocks into the alien and raised it high in the air. He tossed it aside and ran to Tori. She was still wrapped up. She tried to speak.
"Blake," she said just above a whisper.
"Tori, what can I do?" he said terrified.
"My-my sword," she got out before going limp again. Blake turned her on her side and pried her ninja sword from her back.
"ninja Sword gold mode! Power up!" he cried. He sent a wave of gold directly at her. The cocoon fell away in small pieces freeing her. Blake ran to her and held her in his arms. She demorphed in his arms. She gave him a weak smile as he opened his visor.
"You have to," she struggled. "go- my dream. You have to-" she said before she closed her eyes. Blake clutched her in his arms. "I love you," he said setting her down. He turned and faced the alien. He was beyond angry. He whipped out his thunder staff and attached his antler. In a matter of seconds he had the creature at the edge of the cliff. He took one final stroke at it and destroyed it.
(((((((((((((((())))))))))))))
"Let's really shake things up down there!" Lothor cackled as he pressed a button on his PAM.
((((((((((((())))))))))))
Breathing hard, Blake turned back to see Tori trying to raise herself onto her arms. He powered down and was headed back to her when the ground began to shake. Tori and Blake locked eyes. The earth shook violently. Blake stumbled over to the edge of the cliff. Tori tried to reach him but it was too late. She watched in horror as Blake lost his balance and fell over the edge.
"Yea dude, I hear ya," Dustin said cracking his back. Shane came up and patted him on the back.
"I slept great."
