Chapter 16
Summer sprinted down the beach, with Hunter trailing close behind. Hunter was falling back and breathing hard. Summer slowed to a stop and turned around.
"You ok?" She called. Hunter looked up at her and grinned evilly.
"I will be." He snickered taking off at her again. Summer screeched loudly and darted away from him. She took off in the other direction screaming like a banshee down the coast. Hunter was laughing hysterically. Hunter finally caught her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up slightly, spinning her around.
"Gotcha!" He smiled. Summer giggled. Hunter set her down and spun her around to face him. Summer slid her arms around his shoulders.
"Only because I wanted you to get me." She smiled softly as they kissed.
"Hmm, isn't that what everyone says when they get caught?" He asked softly. Summer smiled.
"We should really get home." She said, winking a little. Hunter thought about it for a minute.
"I guess we could go home...." He began. Summer looked at him.
"What are you implying Mr. Bradley?" She asked seductively. Hunter kissed her passionately.
"Wanna go back to the cave?" He asked. Summer's eyes danced.
"Well... if you say so." She replied, licking her lips again. Summer and Hunter nearly ran back to the cave. ()))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( (((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))) Dustin revved up his bike. He was taken advantage of the sudden change in weather to take his bike out on the track.
'Such a perfect day.' He though inwardly. He drove his bike over a jump and brought it back down gently to the ground and sped around the track. Stopping beside his truck, he jumped off his bike and ripped his Moto gear off his now sweaty body. The sun was out again and the temperature had shot up 20 degrees. He was boiling hot.
"Who the hell turned up the heat?" he groaned loudly tossing his stuff into his truck.
"California weather is always pretty weird." Came a voice behind him. An all too familiar voice. He spun around to see Marah standing there. She was dressed in normal clothes-jeans and a purple tank top-and her hair was down in the soft curls he had seen her in a few months before.
"Wha.... What are you doing here?" Dustin stammered, stepping back a bit. Marah shrugged.
"Free country.... I'm just wandering." She replied. Dustin looked at her.
"O...k..." He began. Marah sighed.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me." She told him, sniffling. Dustin approached her cautiously.
"What do you want me to believe? You betrayed me!" He snarled. Marah backed up.
"Dustin I-" She began.
"You don't understand!" She exclaimed.
"What's there to understand?" Dustin asked, crossing his arms.
"I trusted you. I thought you had actually changed. Even when everyone else didn't buy it, I did. And what did you decide to do with that trust? You used it against me and my friends to help your little Bee friend. So, excuse me if I'm not exactly sympathetic to whatever new insult your uncle or your sister have said to you this time." He said, his voice sounding cold and angry. Marah looked at him and sniffed again.
"Why are you being so cold towards me?" She asked quietly. Dustin laughed darkly.
"Oh yes I forgot...You betrayed me, and you don't want me to be cold. I don't need this." He growled walking away. Marah ran after him.
"I'm sorry!" She called. Dustin swung around.
"Sorry doesn't cut it Marah...you broke my heart!" He screamed at her before taking off again. Marah dropped onto her knees and buried her head into her hands, sobbing loudly.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry Dustin." She whispered. Dustin heard her crying and stopped.
'No, you moron, her crying was exactly what fooled you last time. KEEP GOING!' His mind screamed. Dustin groaned softly as he turned around.
'No! Wrong way. Walk AWAY from the evil space ninja chick!' Dustin slowly walked back over to where Marah was. Dustin knelt in front of Marah and lifted her chin gently.
"Marah...I'm sorry." He whispered. Marah looked into his eyes.
"Did you mean what you said....about caring for me?" She asked quietly. Dustin nodded.
"Of course...why wouldn't I?" He replied. Marah shrugged.
"Nobody's ever cared for me before...." She whispered again. Dustin pulled her into a gentle embrace.
"I'm so sorry." She sobbed against his shoulder.
"I didn't want to betray you, really. After you and I talked at the...well, here actually...Beevil came up to me. She had seen the whole thing. She...She said that there was no use trying to be good because no one would ever accept me. She said that I'd just be all alone. My uncle will disown me, and you guys wouldn't trust me. I was so scared. I didn't want to be alone. I had to do it. I had to.." Her voice trailed off into sobs. Dustin held her tighter.
"Shh, shh." Dustin whispered.
"It'll be alright." He told her gently as he rubbed her back gently.
"Just let it all out...I'm not going anywhere." He said. Marah clutched his shirt tighter, and continued to sob.
"I haven't been able to stop thinking about you." Marah said softly. Dustin was slightly surprised by that. He looked down at her.
"I............I haven't been able to stop thinking about you either." He said. Marah lifted her head and looked up at him. Dustin looked deep into her beautiful eyes. He slowly leaned in and kissed her smooth lips softly.

()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Larissa stood in a technology store. She was in desperate need for some computer discs to backup files, and she was running too low for her comfort. She had intended on buying them yesterday, but the hurricane kind of put a rain check on that.......no pun intended. She picked up a case of floppy discs and went to go pay for them when she saw a new computer game she had wanted to get. Her heart fluttered a bit as she went over to get it.
"Oh...Great." She groaned. The game was just a little out of her reach. She got on her tiptoes and tried reaching it, no luck.
"God damnit." She muttered. She jumped up, trying to reach the game, still nothing.
"Need help?" Came a voice. The voice surprised her, causing her to land badly on her foot, twisting it slightly. She gasped as she fell on her butt.
"Ow." Larissa groaned.
"Oh, wow, I'm sorry." Came the voice as someone knelt beside her. She looked up and gasped slightly. "Oh.........Uh...C...Cam.... Hi." She stammered. Cam smiled.
"Hey... Larissa right?" He asked holding his hand out for her. Larissa nodded.
"Yeah that's me." Cam nodded and helped Larissa onto her feet.
"Ouch." She murmured. Cam knelt down and looked at her ankle.
"Well it's not broken, but you twisted it pretty good." He commented. Larissa rolled her eyes.
"No kidding." She grumbled. Cam laughed and slipped his arm underneath hers and around her back to help support her. Larissa's heart rammed inside her chest.
"Uh...Thanks." She said softly. Cam smiled.
"No problem. Anyway, were you trying to get a copy of that game?" He asked.
"Oh no, I like jumping up and down in tech stores." She said sarcastically. Cam laughed.
"Right." He said. He reached up and got the game for her. He handed it to her.
"Thanks." She said. Cam smiled.
"No problem." He smiled. He helped Larissa over to the counter where she paid for her purchases then waited for Cam to pay for his.
"You didn't strike me as a computer whiz." Larissa mused as she saw what he was buying, lots of intricate tech supplies.
"What do you mean?" Cam asked as he took his bag. He helped her walk out of the store.
"Well, computer whizzes tend to be geeky looking and such." Larissa replied. Cam smirked and looked into Larissa's eyes.
"Well, then what were you doing in the computer store? You know any geeky computer whizzes?" He asked.
"That would be me." Larissa said.
"No way, you don't look geeky at all." He gushed softly. Larissa bit her lip. She looked away to hide her blush. Cam gulped a bit.
"I...I think you look...uh..........pretty..." He said, sheepishly.
'Pretty? Pretty? Oh man, you'd think a ranger and tech genius would be a bit more articulate.' Cam thought to himself. Larissa blushed harder.
"Thanks Cam." She whispered. Cam smiled.
"Not a problem." He replied. Larissa saw a bench nearby. She limped over to it. Cam helped her. Larissa smiled a bit more. They sat down on the bench together.
"So, uh......How are you?" Cam asked. Larissa shrugged.
"I'm all right I guess."
"So, you guys weathered last nights weather all right?" He asked. Larissa nodded.
"A tree branch nearly impaled my head, but yeah." Larissa said. Cam paled slightly.
"What?" He asked.
"Well, I was sitting on my bed, and then got up, and like a second later, a tree branch broke through my window."
"Oh my god, are you all right?" Cam asked fearfully. Larissa backed away holding her hands up in front of Cam.
"I'm perfectly fine... I moved right before it broke my window." She told him gently. Cam sighed.
"Well that's a relief that you weren't hurt." He replied. Larissa nodded.
"Yeah. Joey and I boarded up the window." Larissa said. "Man, you should've seen your face. You looked like you were about to have a heart attack." Larissa chuckled slightly.
"Well, I got worried about you." Cam said.
"About me?" Larissa asked.
"Why?" Cam shrugged.
"I like you." he blurted out. He paled immedality. Larissa blushed three different shades of red.
"Re..Real...really?" She asked quietly. Cam nodded shaking like a leaf.
"Yeah.... I do..."He replied. Larissa smiled.
"Well...Uh..." Larissa said, unsure how to respond. She had never been in this situation before. She bit her lip.
"I...Uh..."
"Find me incredibly weird and annoying?" Cam blurted out, feeling nervous and insecure. Larissa stared at him.
"Huh?" She asked.
"No....No...........I just..." Cam sighed.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything." Cam said as he stood up.
"I better go." He said, turning to leave. Larissa reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Wait!" She said. Cam turned around and faced her.
"Don't go." She whispered. He looked at her.
"But...I..." He said. Larissa smiled.
"I never said I didn't feel the same way." She said. Cam's heart lifted.
Really?" He asked trying not to sound so excited. Larissa nodded.
"Yeah... your cute." Larissa replied blushing. Cam blushed as well.
"Thanks..." He said. Larissa smiled.
"Your welcome." She replied.
"I feel like such an idiot right now." Cam said, sitting back down.
"Well, how do you think I feel?" Larissa asked.
"I was like a stammering buffoon."
"I thought you're stammering was kind of cute." Cam said softly. Larissa blushed furiously. Cam looked down sheepishly.
"I...I think that kind of caught my attention when I first met you." He added honestly.
"So, if I had been confident and eloquent, you wouldn't have given me a second glance?" Larissa teased.
"OK, the stammering was one of the things that caught my attention." Cam smiled. Larissa blushed again.
"So where do we go from here?" She asked. Cam shrugged.
"Where do you want to go with this?" He replied. Larissa looked at him and boldly smiled and took his hand in hers. Cam's eyes widened, but then softened.
"This...is where I want to go with it." She told him.
"This works." He said smiling. Larissa giggled softly.
"So.......Uh.......Do you want me to walk you home?" He asked. Larissa nodded, her smile still going from ear to ear.
"I'd love that." She said. ())))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))
"So, do hurricanes around here usually go away like a flash in a pan?" Joey asked. Shane was sitting across from her at the kitchen table. "The weather here is hard to predict." Shane replied. "Sometimes the hurricanes last for days, weeks even, and sometimes they leave just as suddenly as they came."
"For some reason, you just sounded incredibly deep and philosophical when you said that." Joey giggled. In the back of her mind, it reminded her of her mother. Sometimes she was cool and carefree and pretty awesome, but there were times when the sensei in her kicked in. Joey loved listening to her mother talk like that when she was a little girl. She sounded so mystical and beautiful. Joey smiled sadly and played with her nails, Shane, noticing her 'weirdness' decided to change the topic.
"So what are we going to do today? Seems like too good a day to waist." He replied. Joey shrugged.
"I really don't care what we do." She told him truthfully. Shane nodded for a moment then spoke again.
"Wanna go to the skate park?" He asked. Joey looked at him.
"Oh why not." She smiled.
"Don't worry, if that jerk who bothered you the other day shows up, I'll smack him with my board." Shane smirked. Joey giggled.
"Ah, my hero." She said sarcastically. The door opened and they looked up to see Larissa walk in with Cam supporting her.
"What happened to you?" Joey asked.
"I fell in the computer store." Larissa said. Joey could see the happy and love struck look on her friends face and had to restrain herself from rolling her eyes. 'Not her too.' She thought. She stood up.
"We'll be right back." She said to the guys as she went over to Larissa and helped her up to her room. They needed to do some girl talk. Cam and Shane looked at each other and chuckled.
"Strange coincidence." Shane said. Cam nodded.
"What are you doing over here?" He asked Shane. Shane's cheeks took a rosy tint to them.
"Hangin with Joey...you?" Shane retorted playfully. Cam blushed.
"I brought Rissa home because she fell in the computer store." He muttered. Shane laughed.
"There's some secret meaning behind all this isn't there?" Shane joked. Cam laughed nervously.
"No...No whatever gave you that idea?" Cam asked. Shane shrugged.
"Perhaps Larissa's 100 watt smile and Joey's urgency to get her upstairs." Shane said. Cam bit his lip.
"Is Joey going to try to kill me?" Cam asked.
"I dunno. What did you do?" Shane asked carefully. Cam caught what he was getting at and looked at him horrified.
"We didn't do THAT, that's for sure." Cam said quickly.
()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( (()))))))))))))))))))))))))) "So, miss smiles, what's going on?" Joey asked. She sat Larissa down on her bed and brought a cold washcloth and wrapped it around Larissa's ankle.
"Nothing." Larissa replied quickly, too quickly for Joey's taste. Joey raised an eyebrow and looked at Larissa.
"Yeah, and if nothing happened, I must be the mother of the Hanson family." Joey replied. Larissa blushed.
"Ok... I think Cam and I might be...." Larissa started. Joey's eyes went wide. Larissa stared at her.
"I'm not pregnant Joey...Geez..." Larissa sighed. Joey let out a shaky breath.
"Thank god for that." Joey replied.
"Cam and I.........Might be an....Item..." Larissa said softly. She looked at Joey.
"Please don't yell at me like you yelled at Summer." She begged. Joey saw the pleading and desperation in her best friends eyes. Joey sighed.
"Don't worry. Yelling and Sum only got you both mad at me and Summer living with Hunter, so, I've learned my lesson." She said. Larissa smiled.
"Doesn't mean I like it though." Joey quickly added. She thought for a second.
"But, I guess Cam seem's nice enough. I mean, if you just had to get together with someone, I guess I'm happy it's Cam and not some perverted jerk or something." Larissa smiled brightly and hugged Joey.
"Thanks Jo.... your the greatest!" Larissa laughed. Joey smiled and hugged her friend.
"No problem Rissa.... No problem." She replied.
"So, can you ask Cam to come up here?" Larissa asked as Joey went up to leave. Joey looked at her suspiciously. Larissa rolled her eyes.
"Jo, we haven't even kissed yet for god's sakes!" Joey looked at her oddly.
"You haven't?" She asked.
"But I thought he was your boyfriend." Joey teased.
"Hey, don't start with me. You're 18 and you've never kissed anyone before." Larissa pointed out.
"Cheap shot." Joey replied. Larissa looked at her friend sympethically.
"Sorry Jo... one day you'll meet prince charming... Promise." Larissa told her. Joey nodded.
"Yeah right." Joey responded. Larissa sighed.
"Can't say I didn't try." Larissa told her.
"Although, Shane seems to be getting under your defenses.... And you did have that dream/hallucination/whatever about him. Don't you think that means something?" Larissa asked.
"No, it means nothing, absolutely nothing at all." Joey insisted quickly.
"Sure, whatever you say." Larissa smirked. Joey glared at her as she left. Larissa chuckled as Joey walked down the stairs.
"Means nothing at all my ass." She said out loud. Joey walked down the stairs and saw Cam and Shane. Cam looked at her, he seemed to have some fear in his eyes. Joey smirked. 'Good.' She thought. She went over to him.
"So, Larissa told me you two are a thing." Joey said. Cam nodded.
"Uh..yeah, I guess we are." He said.
"Now, saying how much I don't like it would be a wasted effort, cause Larissa's an individual and she'll do what she wants, and I'd rather not have her pissed at me. But, let me just say one thing-You hurt her, in any which way or form, well, let's just say I'm a resourceful girl, I can get a hold of a shotgun and a shovel. Understood?" She asked. Shane had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. Cam nodded shaking.
"Yes." He said.
"Good, glad to see we're on the same page here. Now, Larissa wants you to come up to her room." She said. Cam went to walk past her. Joey grabbed his arm to stop him.
"And if I find out anything requiring the removal of clothes goes on up there, Lorena Bobbit and I will have something in common." She let him go and watched him as he went upstairs.
"Man, you're scary." Shane commented. Joey smiled evilly.
"Why thank you!" She replied happily. Shane just looked at her.
"Now I know that you and Summer have something in common." Shane said. Joey looked at him.
"What that? Brains? Talent? What?" She asked. Shane looked at her.
"None of those." He replied. Joey put her hands on her hips.
"Well, what pretell is it then?" She demanded. Shane chuckled.
"The ability to strike fear into the hearts of men." He replied. Joey burst out laughing.
"Hey...I taught her everything she knows!" Joey boasted. Shane chuckled.
"I know..." He replied.
"So, wait, how am I not striking fear in your heart?" Joey asked. She gasped.
"I knew it, you're not a man!" She joked.
"Haha, very funny." Shane said.
"Well, you walked right into that one." Joey shrugged.
"Well, anyway, you don't strike fear into me, because I know it's all an act." Shane said sincerely.

Summer and Hunter lay in each others embrace, with only a tiny blanket covering their naked bodies. Summer leaned her head against Hunter's collarbone, still breathing heavily. Hunter kissed along her neck and ran his hands over her back. Summer giggled as he ran his hands over a ticklish spot on her sides.
"Ticklish eh?" He grunted sexily.
"Oh yes, I'm incredibly sexy always." Hunter smirked. Summer rolled her eyes.
"Pay a guy a compliment post-sex and he gets all egotistical, ruining the moment." Summer sighed.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to have another moment." Hunter winked. Summer grinned.
"Goodness, you recover fast." She said. "Just another of my incredible qualities." Hunter grinned.
"Shut up." Summer said.
"Yes ma'am." Hunter said as he went and kissed her hotly.
"Mmm." Summer moaned softly as she and Hunter went at it again.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A little while later Hunter and Summer exited their cave holding hands.
"Gee, twice in a period of three hours...some new record eh Hunter" Summer joked kissing him lightly. Hunter grinned.
"Well, I am a sex god." He joked. Summer rolled her eyes and shoved her hands into her back pockets and skipped along the waters edge. Hunter watched as she spun around, her arms shooting out around her. She looked so carefree and innocent. Hunter smiled. Summer caught him looking at her.
"What?" She asked.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about how incredibly beautiful and amazing you are, and how lucky I am to have you in my life." Summer smiled and went over to him.
"I'm the lucky one." Summer said softly, putting her arms around his shoulders. Hunter looked at her and kissed her gently.
"Why are you the lucky one? Can't we share?" He asked. Summer chuckled.
"Guess we could.. But I don't wanna share." She pouted. Hunter laughed.
"You don't even wanna share with me?" He asked sadly. Pushing his lips out, making it look like he was pouting. Summer bit his lower lip affectionately. Hunter groaned.
"You're evil." He muttered.
"Using your sexiness to get what you want. So low." He said. Summer grinned.
"You know you like it." She muttered, running her hands through his hair. Hunter smiled and pulled her closer.
"You.... are so incedabibly beautiful." He mused. Summer blushed furiously and Hunter stole a kiss. Summer sighed.
"I think we should get home." She said softly.
"I think you might be right." Hunter said. He pulled away and took her hand. The two left the beach. Summer pulled the keys out of her front pocket in her jeans and tossed them between her hands as they approached her car. Hunter tilted his head and looked at her.
"Having fun?" He asked. Summer giggled lightly.
"I guess.... wanna drive?" She asked tossing her car keys to him. Hunter caught them.
"You sure?" He asked. Summer nodded.
"Why not... It's not like you're a bad driver or anything." She replied, climbing into the passenger seat.
"OK." Hunter said as he got behind the wheel. ()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))) Blake and Tori sat in her living room talking.
"So, are you going to talk to Hunter?" Tori asked.
"I'm going to try. But, I mean, I was a royal asshole yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if her never spoke to me again." Blake sighed. Tori patted his hand gently.
"I'm sure everything will be all right." She said. Blake sighed.
"I really hope your right about that... I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to kill me." He told Tori, who smiled sadly.
"Hey... give him some credit... He hasn't killed you yet!" She replied gently. Blake laughed hauntingly.
"But still.... I should have been more forward with the fact that he was basically ignoring me." Blake responded.
"I'm sure he didn't even know he was doing it." Tori assured him.
"If you guys just talk it out, I'm sure everything will turn out all right." She said. Blake smiled and kissed her cheek.
"I love your optimism." He smiled.
"I think I would've ripped my hair out by now without it." Tori smiled and put her arms around his shoulders.
"Hmm, that would be bad. I think your hair looks nice as it is, on your head." She said. Blake smiled and kissed her softly.
"I'm glad you like my hair." Blake mused. Tori giggled.
"Oh you have to tell me where you get it done." Tori burst out laughing. Blake chuckled.
"OK, suddenly I feel like your best gal pal, and not your boyfriend." Blake smirked. Tori shifted so she was now straddling his lap. She kissed him passionately.
"Well, I don't exactly do that with my best gal pals." Tori smirked against his lips.
"That's an interesting mental picture." Blake remarked. Tori smacked his arm.
"Get your mind out of the gutter all the time Blake!" She scolded. Blake chuckled. Tori rolled her eyes.
"Well now I know how Summer felt when you destroyed hers and Hunter's 'Moment.'" Tori told him. Blake grinned wildly.
"If I'm good.... can I have a cookie?" He asked childishly. Tori stared at him.
"No... No cookies." She replied. Blake frowned.
"Well.... how bout a kiss then?" He asked. Tori smiled and kissed him hotly.
"I can't say no to that." She murmured against his lips.
"Good." Blake sighed. He held her close to him.
"Have I mentioned how much I'm glad we're together?" He asked softly. Tori smiled.
"Perhaps, but, a girl can't tire of hearing it." She said. Blake kissed her softly.
"I'm incredibly," he said between kisses.
"Absolutely.........Extremely...Totally...Completely............Ecstatic." He said, kissing her repeatedly. Tori giggled.

Joey parked herself on a bench that had a good view of where Shane was going to be skating. She pulled her knees up to her chest and watched Shane with slight interest. He was good. Even she could admit that. But she had seen better. She would just have to deal with watching Shane for a while. A few minutes later, Shane rolled over to where she was sitting.
"Looking good out there." She commented. Shane smiled.
"Thanks Joey." He responded. Joey smiled, a rare smile.

After doing some serious making out, Blake and Tori decided to go bike riding. They playfully raced along the sand on the beach and up a hill. Unbeknownst to them, they were being watched by Zurgane. He growled lowly. He knew Lothor always said a ranger could only be destroyed in their ranger form, but he was sick of the rangers, he had to get rid of them, now. ())))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((()((((((((((( Cam left Larissa's house, telling her he had to get the things he bought home. The two smiled sweetly at each other and he left. He walked back to Ninja Opts, still smiling broadly at today's events. Cam bounded down the stairs into Ninja Ops and dumped his belongings into his room and parked himself in front of the computer. Cam's brows creased into his forehead noticing that Zurgane was following Tori and Blake. Muttering to himself he decided to call Hunter, Shane and Dustin to see if they could get there to help Blake and Tori. Who knows maybe their new friends would make another appearance. Cam lowered his hand to call Hunter via morpher, when he remember that if he was with Summer, she'd get suspicious. Cam typed in Hunter's cell phone number and called the Crimson Ranger.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((
Summer had been holding Hunter's hand as she stared out the window at the scenery. She was about to say something when a loud beeping came from Hunter's back pocket. Smiling evilly, Summer said,
"Um, Hunter. Your ass is ringing."
"Huh?" Hunter asked. He chuckled and reached for his cell phone.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hunter, it's Cam." Came the voice of the green samurai ranger.
"I was just doing a quick check on the city, and some something unpleasant." Hunter froze, knowing that meant monster attack. He looked at Summer, who was looking at him, puzzled.
"Uh...OK...Cam, sure, I'll be over to help you with your car in a bit." Hunter said quickly. He hung up the phone. He looked at Summer.
"Everything OK?" Summer asked.
"Yeah, it's just Cam, car trouble." He said.
"I'll be back in a bit." He didn't even wait for an answer as he left. He rushed to Ninja Opts, bringing his morpher to his mouth.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Zurgane, he's following Blake and Tori, don't like the looks of it." Cam replied. Hunter groaned. Dustin was probably working at the moment, so that only left Shane.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Tori and Blake raced against each other up a cliff, laughing careless and freely. Tori was winning. She currently had lost sight of her boyfriend. Suddenly, something hit Tori's bike, sending it out of control.
"Huh!" Tori exclaimed as she tried to regain control. The bike stopped and she flew over the handlebars, falling over the cliff. Blake soon caught up. He froze as he saw Tori's bike. He quickly stopped his and jumped off.
"Tori?" He called.
"Blake!" Tori screamed from the side of the side of the cliff. Blake's eyes widened and he rushed over.
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((
Joey and Shane were talking quietly when Shane's cell phone started playing a song to the tune of 'Yankee Doodle.' It took everything Joey could muster to try not to laugh. Shane looked at her.
"I swear I didn't put it on there!" Shane remarked. Joey burst out laughing. Sighing Shane answered his phone.
"Yo?" He asked into the phone, he waited for a reply on the other line.
"Shane. It's Hunter. We've got issues. Seems the metal headed lapdog decided to attack Tori and Blake today." Hunter told him. Shane's eyes widened. He told Hunter to wait a minute, then pressed the cell against his chest and stood.
"Joey I've got to leave." He told her gently. Joey looked at him.
"Is everything all right?" Joey asked.
"Uh yeah...It's just...My parents...They have to go out and the sitter cancelled at the last minute. They need me to watch over my baby sister." He said. Joey nodded.
"All right, well, I'll see you around, I guess." She said. Shane nodded and quickly left. Joey raised an eyebrow and shook her head.
"And I though I was weird." Joey muttered to herself. In the midst of a though, a loud and shrill beep cam from her communicator. Joey pressed a button and whispered into it.
"Joey here." She replied to the beep. She heard static then Summer also reply. Then Larissa's voice came over the communicator.
"Guys, we've got problems at the cliffs. Seems a civilian is dangeling over the cliff, and her friend is attempting to get her back up. But that's not the main problem. Seems Zurgane put the girl there. We need to get them up pronto." Larissa commanded. Joey nodded.
"I can get there pretty fast, I'm rather close to the cliffs." Joey told them both. Summer was first to respond.
"Better you than me, I'm pretty far out. I'll be there as soon as I can. can you guys cover till I get there?" She asked. Joey and Larissa nodded.
"Well see you there Summer." Larissa replied. All three nodded.
"Pink Out." Summer said before spinning her car around and into drive.
"Black Out." Joey replied as she picked herself up and ran towards the cliff.
"Orange Out." Larissa commented before streaking out of the house, towards the cliffs.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((( (((((((((((((((((((((
"Tori hold on!" Blake said as he tried pulling her up the side of the cliff. Zurgane laughed lowly as he slowly approached Blake. Tori saw Zurgane.
"Blake, watch out!" Tori screamed.
"Huh?" Blake said. He turned his head to see Zurgane raising his sword. Suddenly, something blasted at him. Zurgane staggered backwards. Blake looked over and saw the black ranger standing there.
"What is it with alien freaks picking on defenseless innocent people?" The black ranger asked. Zurgane glared at her.
"I'm going to make you regret doing that." Zurgane growled. The black ranger stood in a fighting stance.
"Bring it on." She said.
"With pleasure! Yah!" Zurgane yelled as he charged at her. The black ranger pulled out her sword and the two fought. She looked over at Blake.
"You and your friend get out of here. I'll distract metal head here." She ordered. Blake nodded, pretending to be just some random kid, instead of the ranger he himself was. Joey fought Zurgane. Her anger at this creature for the part he played in the abduction of her and Larissa's mothers and the other girls from the academy, and the anger she had for Zurgane attacking Summer in Storm Chargers was like fuel in her fire. Zurgane growled as Joey knocked him down.
"Give up?" She asked.
"Well, while you're at it, tell your boss that-Ahh..." Joey whimpered as she fell to her knees. She felt dizzy, and as if she was just about to combust any second.
"No....No please...not now..." Joey muttered to herself. Zurgane saw the ranger fall and saw it as his opportunity to attack. He got up and went at her.
"What's...going on?" Tori asked as Blake was trying to pull her back up. Blake glanced over to see Zurgane attacking the ranger.
"She's getting pummeled." Blake muttered, surprised. Tori looked at him.
"Help her." She said. Blake looked at her.
"I'm not about to leave you hanging off the side of a cliff. Come on." Blake grunted as he kept trying to pull her up, while maintaining his own balance. Zurgane grabbed Joey's shoulders and pulled her up to her feet.
"You want to help these people so much, then perhaps you should die with them." Zurgane growled. He lifted her up.
"No, put me down!" Joey yelled. Zurgane tossed her towards Blake. Blake looked up just as the black ranger collided against him, knocking off his balance. Blake yelled as himself, Tori and the ranger fell off the cliff. He held onto Tori's hand. The jagged rocks at the bottom of the cliff were coming closer and closer. Suddenly, 2 forms in red came soaring towards them. Blake realized it was Hunter in the glider bike and Shane in battelizer form. Hunter reached Blake and Tori and grabbed Blake's other hand.
"Need a lift?" Hunter asked. Blake laughed a little bit. He pulled Tori up so she wasn't hanging below them. Tori put her arms around Blake's shoulders and he let go of her hand and put his arm around her waist, holding her to him tightly. Shane soared to the black ranger. He grabbed onto her. She put her arms around his neck and he held her under her legs and back. She looked at him.
"How come I never got the memo that rangers can fly?" She joked.
"Only the special rangers can." Shane replied with a laugh.
"As in Special Ed?" The ranger replied. Hunter and Shane came to the bottom of the cliff. They set their "passengers" down.
"I'm going to go after our iron buddy." Hunter said to Shane. And with that he soared back up the cliff. Shane looked at Blake and Tori.
"You folks all right?" He asked. They nodded.
"Good, I suggest you get out of here, stay out of danger, you know." He said. He cocked his head to the side a bit to them, as if to wink. Blake and Tori nodded. They left. Shane turned back to the black ranger.
"Are you all right?" He asked. She nodded.
"No big, just got a little dizzy. I could've taken that freak."
"Before or after you plummeted to a jagged end?" Shane asked. Then, two more forms appeared. It was the pink and orange rangers. They went up to the black ranger.
"We saw you fall, are you all right?" The Pink ranger asked. The black ranger nodded.
"A-OK, thanks to the soaring red guy here." She said. The Pink and Orange rangers nodded.
"Well at least your safe." The Orange one commented. Shane looked at all of them.
"We gonna get metal head up there? Or are we going to sit here all day and yak?" He asked seriously. The three female rangers looked at each other, then him.
"Lets go." The Pink ranger commented. The four of them streaked up onto the top of the cliff. They saw the crimson ranger standing there alone.
"Where's Zurgane?" The Black Ranger asked. Hunter turned and looked at them.
"Dunno, he was gone when I got back here."
"What, he didn't want to stick around to see if those two people and I were dead? I'm just a tad bit offended." The Black Ranger said.
"What is it with him suddenly attacking innocents?" The Pink ranger asked. Shane and Hunter looked at her.
"What makes you think he's done it before?" Shane asked.
"That girl in the sports store." The Orange Ranger said.
"And that girl in the woods."
"How did you-"
"We've got eyes and ears all over this town." The Black Ranger said. Hunter and Shane looked at them, and then nodded.
"Works for me." They commented. Streaks of yellow, green, navy and blue bounced onto the ground. Shane and Hunter ran over to Blake and Tori.
"You two ok?" Shane asked. The both nodded.
"Great." Tori commented.
"Perfectly fine." Blake remarked. The new rangers looked at each and back at the group.
"Well, we should jet." The Pink one commented. They turned to leave but were thrown to the ground. The other rangers behind them were also tossed like rag dolls to the ground.
"What the hell's going on?!" The Black Ranger cursed. An evil chuckle came from behind the trees. There stood Zurgane.
"I knew I just had to wait, and soon you'd all be here." Zurgane said lowly. Larissa looked at him. Zurgane. Anger boiled inside her. He was the one who took her mother. Larissa went to get up. Joey, who seemed to anticipating this, put a hand on her arm to stop her. Larissa looked at her sharply. Joey looked at her and shook her head slightly.
"He's mine." Joey growled. Summer put her hand on Joey's arm before she got up. "How bout we all get him? I've got a bone to pick with metal mouth over there." Summer growled out. Larissa and Joey nodded and the three girls stood in front of the other rangers and charged at Zurgane. Kalzacks appeared in front of Zurgane.
"You don't think I came alone, did you?" Zurgane asked.
"Well, we kind of thought so, you know, since you are stupid and all." Joey replied. The other rangers stood up.
"How about we go down there, where's there more room." Hunter said.
"Sounds good." Larissa said. The nine rangers streaked down to the bottom of the cliff. The Kalzacks followed. Summer bounced from her feet, onto her hands then flipped herself over and kicked a Kalzack in the face sending it sprawling into another.
"I'm getting just a little more than tired of dealing with these freaks!" She yelled loudly. Hunter and Dustin worked around her. At one point the three of them managed to destroy most of the Kalzacks that had been around them. Larissa, Cam and Tori were having problems of their own. They had also managed to destroy a lot of the monsters around them, but Zurgane kept making them appear. Shane, Joey and Blake were in the same boat as everyone else.
"Get away from me!" Joey grunted loudly kicking a few Kalzacks in Shane's direction. They were all finally able to defeat the Kalzacks, and stood in a group together.
"That all you got?" Summer asked.
"Not at all." Zurgane replied. He stepped back and pulled something from his back. It was a medium sized device that was in a cylinder looking shape.
"What's that?" Tori wondered quietly.
"No idea." Cam replied. Zurgane set the device on the ground and touched the side, flipping a switch. The rangers stepped back as a vortex suddenly appeared.
"That can't be good." Joey said softly. She stepped back, going to stand with Larissa and Summer.
"Right you are, ranger." Zurgane said.
"Lothor has tired of your meddling, so it's time to send you were you will never bother us again!" He growled. The wind around them rustled. The vortex was trying to pull them in.
"Let's get out of here!" Blake yelled, but the pull of the vortex was too strong.
"Good idea, now, how shall we manage that, Navy boy?" Joey snapped at him. The pull got stronger. They all struggled to remain where they were. They latched onto trees and each other. They were barely hanging on.
"Help! I can't hold on!" Larissa screamed as she began loosing her grip on the tree. Summer and Joey gasped.
"Hang on!" Summer screamed as she reached to grab onto Larissa's hand. They both got pulled into the vortex.
"NOOO!" Came Joey's shrill scream as they disappeared. Blake, Tori and Hunter held onto a tree for dear life. Tori lost her grip and began to get sucked in. Blake grabbed her arm.
"Ah! Guys!" Dustin yelled as he and Cam let go and were sucked in.
"Where are they?!" Joey yelled, worried about her friends.
"I don't kno-Whoa!" Hunter lost his grip and was soon sucked in as well.
"Bro!" Blake yelled. The momentary distraction caused him to loose his own grip, which resulted in him and Tori getting sucked in. Joey was barely holding onto the tree with her fingertips.
"I'm slipping!" She screamed. Shane tried to reach her. Joey extended her hand to try to reach him, but the pull was too much for them. They both got sucked in. Zurgane laughed evilly as he shut the machine off.
"Oh Lothor will be quite happy with this." Zurgane mused as he disappeared off to the space base.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Summer lay wincing in pain, her eyes closed. She gently pushed herself into sitting position and held her head.
"Oh, my head." She groaned out. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around her. She pushed herself into a standing position, only to tumble into a rock. Pushing herself up again, she took in her surroundings.
"Well Dorothy. I don't think were in Kansas anymore." She commented out loud.
Summer sprinted down the beach, with Hunter trailing close behind. Hunter was falling back and breathing hard. Summer slowed to a stop and turned around.
"You ok?" She called. Hunter looked up at her and grinned evilly.
"I will be." He snickered taking off at her again. Summer screeched loudly and darted away from him. She took off in the other direction screaming like a banshee down the coast. Hunter was laughing hysterically. Hunter finally caught her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up slightly, spinning her around.
"Gotcha!" He smiled. Summer giggled. Hunter set her down and spun her around to face him. Summer slid her arms around his shoulders.
"Only because I wanted you to get me." She smiled softly as they kissed.
"Hmm, isn't that what everyone says when they get caught?" He asked softly. Summer smiled.
"We should really get home." She said, winking a little. Hunter thought about it for a minute.
"I guess we could go home...." He began. Summer looked at him.
"What are you implying Mr. Bradley?" She asked seductively. Hunter kissed her passionately.
"Wanna go back to the cave?" He asked. Summer's eyes danced.
"Well... if you say so." She replied, licking her lips again. Summer and Hunter nearly ran back to the cave. ()))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( (((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))) Dustin revved up his bike. He was taken advantage of the sudden change in weather to take his bike out on the track.
'Such a perfect day.' He though inwardly. He drove his bike over a jump and brought it back down gently to the ground and sped around the track. Stopping beside his truck, he jumped off his bike and ripped his Moto gear off his now sweaty body. The sun was out again and the temperature had shot up 20 degrees. He was boiling hot.
"Who the hell turned up the heat?" he groaned loudly tossing his stuff into his truck.
"California weather is always pretty weird." Came a voice behind him. An all too familiar voice. He spun around to see Marah standing there. She was dressed in normal clothes-jeans and a purple tank top-and her hair was down in the soft curls he had seen her in a few months before.
"Wha.... What are you doing here?" Dustin stammered, stepping back a bit. Marah shrugged.
"Free country.... I'm just wandering." She replied. Dustin looked at her.
"O...k..." He began. Marah sighed.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me." She told him, sniffling. Dustin approached her cautiously.
"What do you want me to believe? You betrayed me!" He snarled. Marah backed up.
"Dustin I-" She began.
"You don't understand!" She exclaimed.
"What's there to understand?" Dustin asked, crossing his arms.
"I trusted you. I thought you had actually changed. Even when everyone else didn't buy it, I did. And what did you decide to do with that trust? You used it against me and my friends to help your little Bee friend. So, excuse me if I'm not exactly sympathetic to whatever new insult your uncle or your sister have said to you this time." He said, his voice sounding cold and angry. Marah looked at him and sniffed again.
"Why are you being so cold towards me?" She asked quietly. Dustin laughed darkly.
"Oh yes I forgot...You betrayed me, and you don't want me to be cold. I don't need this." He growled walking away. Marah ran after him.
"I'm sorry!" She called. Dustin swung around.
"Sorry doesn't cut it Marah...you broke my heart!" He screamed at her before taking off again. Marah dropped onto her knees and buried her head into her hands, sobbing loudly.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry Dustin." She whispered. Dustin heard her crying and stopped.
'No, you moron, her crying was exactly what fooled you last time. KEEP GOING!' His mind screamed. Dustin groaned softly as he turned around.
'No! Wrong way. Walk AWAY from the evil space ninja chick!' Dustin slowly walked back over to where Marah was. Dustin knelt in front of Marah and lifted her chin gently.
"Marah...I'm sorry." He whispered. Marah looked into his eyes.
"Did you mean what you said....about caring for me?" She asked quietly. Dustin nodded.
"Of course...why wouldn't I?" He replied. Marah shrugged.
"Nobody's ever cared for me before...." She whispered again. Dustin pulled her into a gentle embrace.
"I'm so sorry." She sobbed against his shoulder.
"I didn't want to betray you, really. After you and I talked at the...well, here actually...Beevil came up to me. She had seen the whole thing. She...She said that there was no use trying to be good because no one would ever accept me. She said that I'd just be all alone. My uncle will disown me, and you guys wouldn't trust me. I was so scared. I didn't want to be alone. I had to do it. I had to.." Her voice trailed off into sobs. Dustin held her tighter.
"Shh, shh." Dustin whispered.
"It'll be alright." He told her gently as he rubbed her back gently.
"Just let it all out...I'm not going anywhere." He said. Marah clutched his shirt tighter, and continued to sob.
"I haven't been able to stop thinking about you." Marah said softly. Dustin was slightly surprised by that. He looked down at her.
"I............I haven't been able to stop thinking about you either." He said. Marah lifted her head and looked up at him. Dustin looked deep into her beautiful eyes. He slowly leaned in and kissed her smooth lips softly.

()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Larissa stood in a technology store. She was in desperate need for some computer discs to backup files, and she was running too low for her comfort. She had intended on buying them yesterday, but the hurricane kind of put a rain check on that.......no pun intended. She picked up a case of floppy discs and went to go pay for them when she saw a new computer game she had wanted to get. Her heart fluttered a bit as she went over to get it.
"Oh...Great." She groaned. The game was just a little out of her reach. She got on her tiptoes and tried reaching it, no luck.
"God damnit." She muttered. She jumped up, trying to reach the game, still nothing.
"Need help?" Came a voice. The voice surprised her, causing her to land badly on her foot, twisting it slightly. She gasped as she fell on her butt.
"Ow." Larissa groaned.
"Oh, wow, I'm sorry." Came the voice as someone knelt beside her. She looked up and gasped slightly. "Oh.........Uh...C...Cam.... Hi." She stammered. Cam smiled.
"Hey... Larissa right?" He asked holding his hand out for her. Larissa nodded.
"Yeah that's me." Cam nodded and helped Larissa onto her feet.
"Ouch." She murmured. Cam knelt down and looked at her ankle.
"Well it's not broken, but you twisted it pretty good." He commented. Larissa rolled her eyes.
"No kidding." She grumbled. Cam laughed and slipped his arm underneath hers and around her back to help support her. Larissa's heart rammed inside her chest.
"Uh...Thanks." She said softly. Cam smiled.
"No problem. Anyway, were you trying to get a copy of that game?" He asked.
"Oh no, I like jumping up and down in tech stores." She said sarcastically. Cam laughed.
"Right." He said. He reached up and got the game for her. He handed it to her.
"Thanks." She said. Cam smiled.
"No problem." He smiled. He helped Larissa over to the counter where she paid for her purchases then waited for Cam to pay for his.
"You didn't strike me as a computer whiz." Larissa mused as she saw what he was buying, lots of intricate tech supplies.
"What do you mean?" Cam asked as he took his bag. He helped her walk out of the store.
"Well, computer whizzes tend to be geeky looking and such." Larissa replied. Cam smirked and looked into Larissa's eyes.
"Well, then what were you doing in the computer store? You know any geeky computer whizzes?" He asked.
"That would be me." Larissa said.
"No way, you don't look geeky at all." He gushed softly. Larissa bit her lip. She looked away to hide her blush. Cam gulped a bit.
"I...I think you look...uh..........pretty..." He said, sheepishly.
'Pretty? Pretty? Oh man, you'd think a ranger and tech genius would be a bit more articulate.' Cam thought to himself. Larissa blushed harder.
"Thanks Cam." She whispered. Cam smiled.
"Not a problem." He replied. Larissa saw a bench nearby. She limped over to it. Cam helped her. Larissa smiled a bit more. They sat down on the bench together.
"So, uh......How are you?" Cam asked. Larissa shrugged.
"I'm all right I guess."
"So, you guys weathered last nights weather all right?" He asked. Larissa nodded.
"A tree branch nearly impaled my head, but yeah." Larissa said. Cam paled slightly.
"What?" He asked.
"Well, I was sitting on my bed, and then got up, and like a second later, a tree branch broke through my window."
"Oh my god, are you all right?" Cam asked fearfully. Larissa backed away holding her hands up in front of Cam.
"I'm perfectly fine... I moved right before it broke my window." She told him gently. Cam sighed.
"Well that's a relief that you weren't hurt." He replied. Larissa nodded.
"Yeah. Joey and I boarded up the window." Larissa said. "Man, you should've seen your face. You looked like you were about to have a heart attack." Larissa chuckled slightly.
"Well, I got worried about you." Cam said.
"About me?" Larissa asked.
"Why?" Cam shrugged.
"I like you." he blurted out. He paled immedality. Larissa blushed three different shades of red.
"Re..Real...really?" She asked quietly. Cam nodded shaking like a leaf.
"Yeah.... I do..."He replied. Larissa smiled.
"Well...Uh..." Larissa said, unsure how to respond. She had never been in this situation before. She bit her lip.
"I...Uh..."
"Find me incredibly weird and annoying?" Cam blurted out, feeling nervous and insecure. Larissa stared at him.
"Huh?" She asked.
"No....No...........I just..." Cam sighed.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything." Cam said as he stood up.
"I better go." He said, turning to leave. Larissa reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Wait!" She said. Cam turned around and faced her.
"Don't go." She whispered. He looked at her.
"But...I..." He said. Larissa smiled.
"I never said I didn't feel the same way." She said. Cam's heart lifted.
Really?" He asked trying not to sound so excited. Larissa nodded.
"Yeah... your cute." Larissa replied blushing. Cam blushed as well.
"Thanks..." He said. Larissa smiled.
"Your welcome." She replied.
"I feel like such an idiot right now." Cam said, sitting back down.
"Well, how do you think I feel?" Larissa asked.
"I was like a stammering buffoon."
"I thought you're stammering was kind of cute." Cam said softly. Larissa blushed furiously. Cam looked down sheepishly.
"I...I think that kind of caught my attention when I first met you." He added honestly.
"So, if I had been confident and eloquent, you wouldn't have given me a second glance?" Larissa teased.
"OK, the stammering was one of the things that caught my attention." Cam smiled. Larissa blushed again.
"So where do we go from here?" She asked. Cam shrugged.
"Where do you want to go with this?" He replied. Larissa looked at him and boldly smiled and took his hand in hers. Cam's eyes widened, but then softened.
"This...is where I want to go with it." She told him.
"This works." He said smiling. Larissa giggled softly.
"So.......Uh.......Do you want me to walk you home?" He asked. Larissa nodded, her smile still going from ear to ear.
"I'd love that." She said. ())))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))
"So, do hurricanes around here usually go away like a flash in a pan?" Joey asked. Shane was sitting across from her at the kitchen table. "The weather here is hard to predict." Shane replied. "Sometimes the hurricanes last for days, weeks even, and sometimes they leave just as suddenly as they came."
"For some reason, you just sounded incredibly deep and philosophical when you said that." Joey giggled. In the back of her mind, it reminded her of her mother. Sometimes she was cool and carefree and pretty awesome, but there were times when the sensei in her kicked in. Joey loved listening to her mother talk like that when she was a little girl. She sounded so mystical and beautiful. Joey smiled sadly and played with her nails, Shane, noticing her 'weirdness' decided to change the topic.
"So what are we going to do today? Seems like too good a day to waist." He replied. Joey shrugged.
"I really don't care what we do." She told him truthfully. Shane nodded for a moment then spoke again.
"Wanna go to the skate park?" He asked. Joey looked at him.
"Oh why not." She smiled.
"Don't worry, if that jerk who bothered you the other day shows up, I'll smack him with my board." Shane smirked. Joey giggled.
"Ah, my hero." She said sarcastically. The door opened and they looked up to see Larissa walk in with Cam supporting her.
"What happened to you?" Joey asked.
"I fell in the computer store." Larissa said. Joey could see the happy and love struck look on her friends face and had to restrain herself from rolling her eyes. 'Not her too.' She thought. She stood up.
"We'll be right back." She said to the guys as she went over to Larissa and helped her up to her room. They needed to do some girl talk. Cam and Shane looked at each other and chuckled.
"Strange coincidence." Shane said. Cam nodded.
"What are you doing over here?" He asked Shane. Shane's cheeks took a rosy tint to them.
"Hangin with Joey...you?" Shane retorted playfully. Cam blushed.
"I brought Rissa home because she fell in the computer store." He muttered. Shane laughed.
"There's some secret meaning behind all this isn't there?" Shane joked. Cam laughed nervously.
"No...No whatever gave you that idea?" Cam asked. Shane shrugged.
"Perhaps Larissa's 100 watt smile and Joey's urgency to get her upstairs." Shane said. Cam bit his lip.
"Is Joey going to try to kill me?" Cam asked.
"I dunno. What did you do?" Shane asked carefully. Cam caught what he was getting at and looked at him horrified.
"We didn't do THAT, that's for sure." Cam said quickly.
()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( (()))))))))))))))))))))))))) "So, miss smiles, what's going on?" Joey asked. She sat Larissa down on her bed and brought a cold washcloth and wrapped it around Larissa's ankle.
"Nothing." Larissa replied quickly, too quickly for Joey's taste. Joey raised an eyebrow and looked at Larissa.
"Yeah, and if nothing happened, I must be the mother of the Hanson family." Joey replied. Larissa blushed.
"Ok... I think Cam and I might be...." Larissa started. Joey's eyes went wide. Larissa stared at her.
"I'm not pregnant Joey...Geez..." Larissa sighed. Joey let out a shaky breath.
"Thank god for that." Joey replied.
"Cam and I.........Might be an....Item..." Larissa said softly. She looked at Joey.
"Please don't yell at me like you yelled at Summer." She begged. Joey saw the pleading and desperation in her best friends eyes. Joey sighed.
"Don't worry. Yelling and Sum only got you both mad at me and Summer living with Hunter, so, I've learned my lesson." She said. Larissa smiled.
"Doesn't mean I like it though." Joey quickly added. She thought for a second.
"But, I guess Cam seem's nice enough. I mean, if you just had to get together with someone, I guess I'm happy it's Cam and not some perverted jerk or something." Larissa smiled brightly and hugged Joey.
"Thanks Jo.... your the greatest!" Larissa laughed. Joey smiled and hugged her friend.
"No problem Rissa.... No problem." She replied.
"So, can you ask Cam to come up here?" Larissa asked as Joey went up to leave. Joey looked at her suspiciously. Larissa rolled her eyes.
"Jo, we haven't even kissed yet for god's sakes!" Joey looked at her oddly.
"You haven't?" She asked.
"But I thought he was your boyfriend." Joey teased.
"Hey, don't start with me. You're 18 and you've never kissed anyone before." Larissa pointed out.
"Cheap shot." Joey replied. Larissa looked at her friend sympethically.
"Sorry Jo... one day you'll meet prince charming... Promise." Larissa told her. Joey nodded.
"Yeah right." Joey responded. Larissa sighed.
"Can't say I didn't try." Larissa told her.
"Although, Shane seems to be getting under your defenses.... And you did have that dream/hallucination/whatever about him. Don't you think that means something?" Larissa asked.
"No, it means nothing, absolutely nothing at all." Joey insisted quickly.
"Sure, whatever you say." Larissa smirked. Joey glared at her as she left. Larissa chuckled as Joey walked down the stairs.
"Means nothing at all my ass." She said out loud. Joey walked down the stairs and saw Cam and Shane. Cam looked at her, he seemed to have some fear in his eyes. Joey smirked. 'Good.' She thought. She went over to him.
"So, Larissa told me you two are a thing." Joey said. Cam nodded.
"Uh..yeah, I guess we are." He said.
"Now, saying how much I don't like it would be a wasted effort, cause Larissa's an individual and she'll do what she wants, and I'd rather not have her pissed at me. But, let me just say one thing-You hurt her, in any which way or form, well, let's just say I'm a resourceful girl, I can get a hold of a shotgun and a shovel. Understood?" She asked. Shane had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. Cam nodded shaking.
"Yes." He said.
"Good, glad to see we're on the same page here. Now, Larissa wants you to come up to her room." She said. Cam went to walk past her. Joey grabbed his arm to stop him.
"And if I find out anything requiring the removal of clothes goes on up there, Lorena Bobbit and I will have something in common." She let him go and watched him as he went upstairs.
"Man, you're scary." Shane commented. Joey smiled evilly.
"Why thank you!" She replied happily. Shane just looked at her.
"Now I know that you and Summer have something in common." Shane said. Joey looked at him.
"What that? Brains? Talent? What?" She asked. Shane looked at her.
"None of those." He replied. Joey put her hands on her hips.
"Well, what pretell is it then?" She demanded. Shane chuckled.
"The ability to strike fear into the hearts of men." He replied. Joey burst out laughing.
"Hey...I taught her everything she knows!" Joey boasted. Shane chuckled.
"I know..." He replied.
"So, wait, how am I not striking fear in your heart?" Joey asked. She gasped.
"I knew it, you're not a man!" She joked.
"Haha, very funny." Shane said.
"Well, you walked right into that one." Joey shrugged.
"Well, anyway, you don't strike fear into me, because I know it's all an act." Shane said sincerely.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((
Summer and Hunter lay in each others embrace, with only a tiny blanket covering their naked bodies. Summer leaned her head against Hunter's collarbone, still breathing heavily. Hunter kissed along her neck and ran his hands over her back. Summer giggled as he ran his hands over a ticklish spot on her sides.
"Ticklish eh?" He grunted sexily.
"Oh yes, I'm incredibly sexy always." Hunter smirked. Summer rolled her eyes.
"Pay a guy a compliment post-sex and he gets all egotistical, ruining the moment." Summer sighed.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to have another moment." Hunter winked. Summer grinned.
"Goodness, you recover fast." She said. "Just another of my incredible qualities." Hunter grinned.
"Shut up." Summer said.
"Yes ma'am." Hunter said as he went and kissed her hotly.
"Mmm." Summer moaned softly as she and Hunter went at it again.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A little while later Hunter and Summer exited their cave holding hands.
"Gee, twice in a period of three hours...some new record eh Hunter" Summer joked kissing him lightly. Hunter grinned.
"Well, I am a sex god." He joked. Summer rolled her eyes and shoved her hands into her back pockets and skipped along the waters edge. Hunter watched as she spun around, her arms shooting out around her. She looked so carefree and innocent. Hunter smiled. Summer caught him looking at her.
"What?" She asked.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about how incredibly beautiful and amazing you are, and how lucky I am to have you in my life." Summer smiled and went over to him.
"I'm the lucky one." Summer said softly, putting her arms around his shoulders. Hunter looked at her and kissed her gently.
"Why are you the lucky one? Can't we share?" He asked. Summer chuckled.
"Guess we could.. But I don't wanna share." She pouted. Hunter laughed.
"You don't even wanna share with me?" He asked sadly. Pushing his lips out, making it look like he was pouting. Summer bit his lower lip affectionately. Hunter groaned.
"You're evil." He muttered.
"Using your sexiness to get what you want. So low." He said. Summer grinned.
"You know you like it." She muttered, running her hands through his hair. Hunter smiled and pulled her closer.
"You.... are so incedabibly beautiful." He mused. Summer blushed furiously and Hunter stole a kiss. Summer sighed.
"I think we should get home." She said softly.
"I think you might be right." Hunter said. He pulled away and took her hand. The two left the beach. Summer pulled the keys out of her front pocket in her jeans and tossed them between her hands as they approached her car. Hunter tilted his head and looked at her.
"Having fun?" He asked. Summer giggled lightly.
"I guess.... wanna drive?" She asked tossing her car keys to him. Hunter caught them.
"You sure?" He asked. Summer nodded.
"Why not... It's not like you're a bad driver or anything." She replied, climbing into the passenger seat.
"OK." Hunter said as he got behind the wheel. ()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))) Blake and Tori sat in her living room talking.
"So, are you going to talk to Hunter?" Tori asked.
"I'm going to try. But, I mean, I was a royal asshole yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if her never spoke to me again." Blake sighed. Tori patted his hand gently.
"I'm sure everything will be all right." She said. Blake sighed.
"I really hope your right about that... I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to kill me." He told Tori, who smiled sadly.
"Hey... give him some credit... He hasn't killed you yet!" She replied gently. Blake laughed hauntingly.
"But still.... I should have been more forward with the fact that he was basically ignoring me." Blake responded.
"I'm sure he didn't even know he was doing it." Tori assured him.
"If you guys just talk it out, I'm sure everything will turn out all right." She said. Blake smiled and kissed her cheek.
"I love your optimism." He smiled.
"I think I would've ripped my hair out by now without it." Tori smiled and put her arms around his shoulders.
"Hmm, that would be bad. I think your hair looks nice as it is, on your head." She said. Blake smiled and kissed her softly.
"I'm glad you like my hair." Blake mused. Tori giggled.
"Oh you have to tell me where you get it done." Tori burst out laughing. Blake chuckled.
"OK, suddenly I feel like your best gal pal, and not your boyfriend." Blake smirked. Tori shifted so she was now straddling his lap. She kissed him passionately.
"Well, I don't exactly do that with my best gal pals." Tori smirked against his lips.
"That's an interesting mental picture." Blake remarked. Tori smacked his arm.
"Get your mind out of the gutter all the time Blake!" She scolded. Blake chuckled. Tori rolled her eyes.
"Well now I know how Summer felt when you destroyed hers and Hunter's 'Moment.'" Tori told him. Blake grinned wildly.
"If I'm good.... can I have a cookie?" He asked childishly. Tori stared at him.
"No... No cookies." She replied. Blake frowned.
"Well.... how bout a kiss then?" He asked. Tori smiled and kissed him hotly.
"I can't say no to that." She murmured against his lips.
"Good." Blake sighed. He held her close to him.
"Have I mentioned how much I'm glad we're together?" He asked softly. Tori smiled.
"Perhaps, but, a girl can't tire of hearing it." She said. Blake kissed her softly.
"I'm incredibly," he said between kisses.
"Absolutely.........Extremely...Totally...Completely............Ecstatic." He said, kissing her repeatedly. Tori giggled.

Joey parked herself on a bench that had a good view of where Shane was going to be skating. She pulled her knees up to her chest and watched Shane with slight interest. He was good. Even she could admit that. But she had seen better. She would just have to deal with watching Shane for a while. A few minutes later, Shane rolled over to where she was sitting.
"Looking good out there." She commented. Shane smiled.
"Thanks Joey." He responded. Joey smiled, a rare smile.

After doing some serious making out, Blake and Tori decided to go bike riding. They playfully raced along the sand on the beach and up a hill. Unbeknownst to them, they were being watched by Zurgane. He growled lowly. He knew Lothor always said a ranger could only be destroyed in their ranger form, but he was sick of the rangers, he had to get rid of them, now. ())))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((()((((((((((( Cam left Larissa's house, telling her he had to get the things he bought home. The two smiled sweetly at each other and he left. He walked back to Ninja Opts, still smiling broadly at today's events. Cam bounded down the stairs into Ninja Ops and dumped his belongings into his room and parked himself in front of the computer. Cam's brows creased into his forehead noticing that Zurgane was following Tori and Blake. Muttering to himself he decided to call Hunter, Shane and Dustin to see if they could get there to help Blake and Tori. Who knows maybe their new friends would make another appearance. Cam lowered his hand to call Hunter via morpher, when he remember that if he was with Summer, she'd get suspicious. Cam typed in Hunter's cell phone number and called the Crimson Ranger.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((
Summer had been holding Hunter's hand as she stared out the window at the scenery. She was about to say something when a loud beeping came from Hunter's back pocket. Smiling evilly, Summer said,
"Um, Hunter. Your ass is ringing."
"Huh?" Hunter asked. He chuckled and reached for his cell phone.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hunter, it's Cam." Came the voice of the green samurai ranger.
"I was just doing a quick check on the city, and some something unpleasant." Hunter froze, knowing that meant monster attack. He looked at Summer, who was looking at him, puzzled.
"Uh...OK...Cam, sure, I'll be over to help you with your car in a bit." Hunter said quickly. He hung up the phone. He looked at Summer.
"Everything OK?" Summer asked.
"Yeah, it's just Cam, car trouble." He said.
"I'll be back in a bit." He didn't even wait for an answer as he left. He rushed to Ninja Opts, bringing his morpher to his mouth.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Zurgane, he's following Blake and Tori, don't like the looks of it." Cam replied. Hunter groaned. Dustin was probably working at the moment, so that only left Shane.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Tori and Blake raced against each other up a cliff, laughing careless and freely. Tori was winning. She currently had lost sight of her boyfriend. Suddenly, something hit Tori's bike, sending it out of control.
"Huh!" Tori exclaimed as she tried to regain control. The bike stopped and she flew over the handlebars, falling over the cliff. Blake soon caught up. He froze as he saw Tori's bike. He quickly stopped his and jumped off.
"Tori?" He called.
"Blake!" Tori screamed from the side of the side of the cliff. Blake's eyes widened and he rushed over.
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((
Joey and Shane were talking quietly when Shane's cell phone started playing a song to the tune of 'Yankee Doodle.' It took everything Joey could muster to try not to laugh. Shane looked at her.
"I swear I didn't put it on there!" Shane remarked. Joey burst out laughing. Sighing Shane answered his phone.
"Yo?" He asked into the phone, he waited for a reply on the other line.
"Shane. It's Hunter. We've got issues. Seems the metal headed lapdog decided to attack Tori and Blake today." Hunter told him. Shane's eyes widened. He told Hunter to wait a minute, then pressed the cell against his chest and stood.
"Joey I've got to leave." He told her gently. Joey looked at him.
"Is everything all right?" Joey asked.
"Uh yeah...It's just...My parents...They have to go out and the sitter cancelled at the last minute. They need me to watch over my baby sister." He said. Joey nodded.
"All right, well, I'll see you around, I guess." She said. Shane nodded and quickly left. Joey raised an eyebrow and shook her head.
"And I though I was weird." Joey muttered to herself. In the midst of a though, a loud and shrill beep cam from her communicator. Joey pressed a button and whispered into it.
"Joey here." She replied to the beep. She heard static then Summer also reply. Then Larissa's voice came over the communicator.
"Guys, we've got problems at the cliffs. Seems a civilian is dangeling over the cliff, and her friend is attempting to get her back up. But that's not the main problem. Seems Zurgane put the girl there. We need to get them up pronto." Larissa commanded. Joey nodded.
"I can get there pretty fast, I'm rather close to the cliffs." Joey told them both. Summer was first to respond.
"Better you than me, I'm pretty far out. I'll be there as soon as I can. can you guys cover till I get there?" She asked. Joey and Larissa nodded.
"Well see you there Summer." Larissa replied. All three nodded.
"Pink Out." Summer said before spinning her car around and into drive.
"Black Out." Joey replied as she picked herself up and ran towards the cliff.
"Orange Out." Larissa commented before streaking out of the house, towards the cliffs.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((( (((((((((((((((((((((
"Tori hold on!" Blake said as he tried pulling her up the side of the cliff. Zurgane laughed lowly as he slowly approached Blake. Tori saw Zurgane.
"Blake, watch out!" Tori screamed.
"Huh?" Blake said. He turned his head to see Zurgane raising his sword. Suddenly, something blasted at him. Zurgane staggered backwards. Blake looked over and saw the black ranger standing there.
"What is it with alien freaks picking on defenseless innocent people?" The black ranger asked. Zurgane glared at her.
"I'm going to make you regret doing that." Zurgane growled. The black ranger stood in a fighting stance.
"Bring it on." She said.
"With pleasure! Yah!" Zurgane yelled as he charged at her. The black ranger pulled out her sword and the two fought. She looked over at Blake.
"You and your friend get out of here. I'll distract metal head here." She ordered. Blake nodded, pretending to be just some random kid, instead of the ranger he himself was. Joey fought Zurgane. Her anger at this creature for the part he played in the abduction of her and Larissa's mothers and the other girls from the academy, and the anger she had for Zurgane attacking Summer in Storm Chargers was like fuel in her fire. Zurgane growled as Joey knocked him down.
"Give up?" She asked.
"Well, while you're at it, tell your boss that-Ahh..." Joey whimpered as she fell to her knees. She felt dizzy, and as if she was just about to combust any second.
"No....No please...not now..." Joey muttered to herself. Zurgane saw the ranger fall and saw it as his opportunity to attack. He got up and went at her.
"What's...going on?" Tori asked as Blake was trying to pull her back up. Blake glanced over to see Zurgane attacking the ranger.
"She's getting pummeled." Blake muttered, surprised. Tori looked at him.
"Help her." She said. Blake looked at her.
"I'm not about to leave you hanging off the side of a cliff. Come on." Blake grunted as he kept trying to pull her up, while maintaining his own balance. Zurgane grabbed Joey's shoulders and pulled her up to her feet.
"You want to help these people so much, then perhaps you should die with them." Zurgane growled. He lifted her up.
"No, put me down!" Joey yelled. Zurgane tossed her towards Blake. Blake looked up just as the black ranger collided against him, knocking off his balance. Blake yelled as himself, Tori and the ranger fell off the cliff. He held onto Tori's hand. The jagged rocks at the bottom of the cliff were coming closer and closer. Suddenly, 2 forms in red came soaring towards them. Blake realized it was Hunter in the glider bike and Shane in battelizer form. Hunter reached Blake and Tori and grabbed Blake's other hand.
"Need a lift?" Hunter asked. Blake laughed a little bit. He pulled Tori up so she wasn't hanging below them. Tori put her arms around Blake's shoulders and he let go of her hand and put his arm around her waist, holding her to him tightly. Shane soared to the black ranger. He grabbed onto her. She put her arms around his neck and he held her under her legs and back. She looked at him.
"How come I never got the memo that rangers can fly?" She joked.
"Only the special rangers can." Shane replied with a laugh.
"As in Special Ed?" The ranger replied. Hunter and Shane came to the bottom of the cliff. They set their "passengers" down.
"I'm going to go after our iron buddy." Hunter said to Shane. And with that he soared back up the cliff. Shane looked at Blake and Tori.
"You folks all right?" He asked. They nodded.
"Good, I suggest you get out of here, stay out of danger, you know." He said. He cocked his head to the side a bit to them, as if to wink. Blake and Tori nodded. They left. Shane turned back to the black ranger.
"Are you all right?" He asked. She nodded.
"No big, just got a little dizzy. I could've taken that freak."
"Before or after you plummeted to a jagged end?" Shane asked. Then, two more forms appeared. It was the pink and orange rangers. They went up to the black ranger.
"We saw you fall, are you all right?" The Pink ranger asked. The black ranger nodded.
"A-OK, thanks to the soaring red guy here." She said. The Pink and Orange rangers nodded.
"Well at least your safe." The Orange one commented. Shane looked at all of them.
"We gonna get metal head up there? Or are we going to sit here all day and yak?" He asked seriously. The three female rangers looked at each other, then him.
"Lets go." The Pink ranger commented. The four of them streaked up onto the top of the cliff. They saw the crimson ranger standing there alone.
"Where's Zurgane?" The Black Ranger asked. Hunter turned and looked at them.
"Dunno, he was gone when I got back here."
"What, he didn't want to stick around to see if those two people and I were dead? I'm just a tad bit offended." The Black Ranger said.
"What is it with him suddenly attacking innocents?" The Pink ranger asked. Shane and Hunter looked at her.
"What makes you think he's done it before?" Shane asked.
"That girl in the sports store." The Orange Ranger said.
"And that girl in the woods."
"How did you-"
"We've got eyes and ears all over this town." The Black Ranger said. Hunter and Shane looked at them, and then nodded.
"Works for me." They commented. Streaks of yellow, green, navy and blue bounced onto the ground. Shane and Hunter ran over to Blake and Tori.
"You two ok?" Shane asked. The both nodded.
"Great." Tori commented.
"Perfectly fine." Blake remarked. The new rangers looked at each and back at the group.
"Well, we should jet." The Pink one commented. They turned to leave but were thrown to the ground. The other rangers behind them were also tossed like rag dolls to the ground.
"What the hell's going on?!" The Black Ranger cursed. An evil chuckle came from behind the trees. There stood Zurgane.
"I knew I just had to wait, and soon you'd all be here." Zurgane said lowly. Larissa looked at him. Zurgane. Anger boiled inside her. He was the one who took her mother. Larissa went to get up. Joey, who seemed to anticipating this, put a hand on her arm to stop her. Larissa looked at her sharply. Joey looked at her and shook her head slightly.
"He's mine." Joey growled. Summer put her hand on Joey's arm before she got up. "How bout we all get him? I've got a bone to pick with metal mouth over there." Summer growled out. Larissa and Joey nodded and the three girls stood in front of the other rangers and charged at Zurgane. Kalzacks appeared in front of Zurgane.
"You don't think I came alone, did you?" Zurgane asked.
"Well, we kind of thought so, you know, since you are stupid and all." Joey replied. The other rangers stood up.
"How about we go down there, where's there more room." Hunter said.
"Sounds good." Larissa said. The nine rangers streaked down to the bottom of the cliff. The Kalzacks followed. Summer bounced from her feet, onto her hands then flipped herself over and kicked a Kalzack in the face sending it sprawling into another.
"I'm getting just a little more than tired of dealing with these freaks!" She yelled loudly. Hunter and Dustin worked around her. At one point the three of them managed to destroy most of the Kalzacks that had been around them. Larissa, Cam and Tori were having problems of their own. They had also managed to destroy a lot of the monsters around them, but Zurgane kept making them appear. Shane, Joey and Blake were in the same boat as everyone else.
"Get away from me!" Joey grunted loudly kicking a few Kalzacks in Shane's direction. They were all finally able to defeat the Kalzacks, and stood in a group together.
"That all you got?" Summer asked.
"Not at all." Zurgane replied. He stepped back and pulled something from his back. It was a medium sized device that was in a cylinder looking shape.
"What's that?" Tori wondered quietly.
"No idea." Cam replied. Zurgane set the device on the ground and touched the side, flipping a switch. The rangers stepped back as a vortex suddenly appeared.
"That can't be good." Joey said softly. She stepped back, going to stand with Larissa and Summer.
"Right you are, ranger." Zurgane said.
"Lothor has tired of your meddling, so it's time to send you were you will never bother us again!" He growled. The wind around them rustled. The vortex was trying to pull them in.
"Let's get out of here!" Blake yelled, but the pull of the vortex was too strong.
"Good idea, now, how shall we manage that, Navy boy?" Joey snapped at him. The pull got stronger. They all struggled to remain where they were. They latched onto trees and each other. They were barely hanging on.
"Help! I can't hold on!" Larissa screamed as she began loosing her grip on the tree. Summer and Joey gasped.
"Hang on!" Summer screamed as she reached to grab onto Larissa's hand. They both got pulled into the vortex.
"NOOO!" Came Joey's shrill scream as they disappeared. Blake, Tori and Hunter held onto a tree for dear life. Tori lost her grip and began to get sucked in. Blake grabbed her arm.
"Ah! Guys!" Dustin yelled as he and Cam let go and were sucked in.
"Where are they?!" Joey yelled, worried about her friends.
"I don't kno-Whoa!" Hunter lost his grip and was soon sucked in as well.
"Bro!" Blake yelled. The momentary distraction caused him to loose his own grip, which resulted in him and Tori getting sucked in. Joey was barely holding onto the tree with her fingertips.
"I'm slipping!" She screamed. Shane tried to reach her. Joey extended her hand to try to reach him, but the pull was too much for them. They both got sucked in. Zurgane laughed evilly as he shut the machine off.
"Oh Lothor will be quite happy with this." Zurgane mused as he disappeared off to the space base.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Summer lay wincing in pain, her eyes closed. She gently pushed herself into sitting position and held her head.
"Oh, my head." She groaned out. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around her. She pushed herself into a standing position, only to tumble into a rock. Pushing herself up again, she took in her surroundings.
"Well Dorothy. I don't think were in Kansas anymore." She commented out loud.
