Joey groaned and sat up. She pushed her hair out of her face and stood up.
"What the hell happened?" She wondered.
"Joey." Came a voice. Joey spun around to see Larissa coming out of some bushes. Relief filled Joey and she ran over and threw her arms around Larissa. Larissa hugged her back.
"Oh man, I thought you were....Well, I don't know, but still." Joey said. Larissa nodded.
"Yeah." She said.
"Where's Sum?" Joey asked.
"I don't know. Somewhere here, I would imagine." Larissa said.
"We need to find her..." Joey commented. Larissa nodded.
"We have no idea where to start though... I already tried contacting her on our communicator's...no luck..." Larissa replied. Joey cursed under her breath.
"Did you get anything?!" Joey questioned. Larissa nodded.
"Yeah, static." The Hawaiian girl replied. Joey just made a face at her.
"Well, guess we better get walking if were going to find Summer." She said. Larissa nodded and they set out.
()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) "Guys?!" Tori yelled. She was on the island, and didn't see anyone. "Blake?! Hunter?! Shane?! Dustin?! Cam?! Anyone?!" She called out again. All she was met with was the sound of wind passing through the trees. "Great." She muttered. She stopped as she heard footsteps behind her, coming from the bushes. She spun around and got ready to fight, thinking it might be Zurgane, or Kelzacks. Two figures emerged from the bushes. Blake and Hunter stepped back when they saw Tori. "Whoa, whoa, it's us." Hunter said quickly. Tori blinked and sighed, standing up straight. "You OK?" Blake asked. Tori nodded and went over to him. They embraced one another.
"Any idea where the others might be?" Tori asked. They shook their heads.
"I was searching around when I came across Hunter." Blake said.
"We better look for them." Hunter said.
"Yeah." Blake said. The three of them started to walk. "Man, this is some serious deja-vu. Another island? How repetitive."
"Lothor's evil, and apparently that doesn't include being creative." Tori said.

Dustin rolled onto his stomach and stood stretching.
"That would have been a good nap, if I wouldn't have fallen like god knows how far." He muttered loudly.
"Dude... Not so loud." Came another voice, startling Dustin. From around a rock came Shane.
"Shane man? What's going on?" Dustin asked. Shane shrugged.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Shane replied. Another voice then scared the crap out of the both of them.
"Looks like were on some sort of island." The Green Samurai Ranger spoke. Dustin and Shane both rolled their eyes.
"This is getting really old." Dustin commented. "I mean, we get on a island, fight for a bit, then Cam-" Dustin paused. "Would save our behinds...But he's here...Forget that thought."
"How about we try finding the others before Dustin has a stroke from thinking to much." Shane said. Dustin gave him a dirty look.
"Not funny dude....so not funny" The yellow wind ranger commented as they set off to find the others.
()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ())))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((
"Do you have any idea where we might be? Or where Summer is?" Joey asked as she and Larissa walked along the island, trying to find Summer.
"If I had known we were going to get transported to a freaky island, I would've brought my G.P.S." Larissa muttered sarcastically. Joey sighed. They came to a sort of river. On the other side was some more land. Joey squinted against the bright sun, seeing a figure standing across them with their back turned. She saw blonde hair. Joey smiled.
"There she is!" Joey yelled. Larissa caught up to her and saw Summer standing there.
"Oh, she's all right, thank god." Larissa sighed. She cupped her hands by her mouth. "Summer!" She yelled. Summer didn't seem to hear her. Larissa yelled again. Joey tried yelling as well, no response.
"My god, is she deaf?" Joey sighed.
Summer stood, looking around. There was no sign giving her a clue as to where she, or Larissa or Joey were. Summer sighed and turned around, looking across the river. She did a double take as she saw Joey and Larissa standing there.
"Guys!" She yelled. Joey and Larissa waved their arms up at her. They were saying something, but she couldn't hear them. "I can't hear you." Summer said. They both looked at her and she could see their lips saying 'what?'..Apparently they couldn't hear her either. Summer sighed and took a deep breath. "Wait there!" She yelled, making sure she mouthed each word so they could see what she had said. They nodded.
Summer looked around, trying to see if there was anything she could use to get across the river. She really didn't feel like getting her clothes wet by swimming. Some movement in the water caught Summer's eye. She spun around and looked at the river. Something that looked like a large tail went under. "Loch ness monster? So, what, we're in Scotland?" Summer wondered. She curiously walked closer to the water. Suddenly, a large thick tentacle emerged from the water and wrapped around her legs. Summer screamed as she was pulled into the water.
"Oh my god!" Larissa screamed. "What...What was that?!" Joey stepped back, gently pushing Larissa behind her.
"I don't know." Joey said. The adrenaline from fear of the life of one of her best friends took over. She rushed to the water and dove in.
"Joey!" Larissa screamed.
()))))))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Cam, Shane and Dustin wandered along the beach. Cam kept looking around as if to find some sort of clue as to where they might be. Cam began pressing buttons on his communicator attempting to reach the other rangers.
"Nothing's working." The green samurai ranger sighed. Dustin and Shane chuckled.
"It is the same as last time." A voice came from around a bend. From the shadows of the rocks came Hunter, Blake and Tori.
"There you are!" Dustin said as they approached one another. Blake nodded.
"Hunter found me, and then we found Tori." He said softly. The others smiled.
"Dustin and Shane found each other, then I found them." Cam told the others.
"So, any sign of our newest ranger buddies?" Hunter asked.
"I'd imagine that if we're not morphed, neither are they." Cam replied. "So.."
"So the endless wonder of who they are is over..Once we find them." Shane said.
"Well, considering the baddie's motive, chances are if we see any human here who isn't one of us, chances are they're one of the rangers." Blake said.
"Have you tried contacting your dad?" Tori asked Cam. Cam nodded.
"But, nothing seems to be working." Cam replied.
"Yeah, we tried morphing, and contacting you guys, nothing. Thought maybe you'd have more luck." Hunter said.
"So, now what?" Dustin said. As if on cue, screams were heard throughout the area. The six rangers looked at each other, then quickly took off towards the sound.
()))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
"Let go of me you disgusting thing!" Larissa yelled as the monster had its tentacle wrapped around her legs. Joey had gone in to save Summer. The two had hit the monster while trying to get back to the surface when it bit Summer's shoulder and Joey's hip. They were now trying to get it away from Larissa the best they could.
"Leave her alone!" Summer yelled. Another one of the tentacles swooped back, hitting Summer and knocking her back. Summer landed painfully.
"Son of a bitch." She moaned pushing herself onto her feet. She grabbed a branch and charged at the monster. She jumped and plunged the branch into the monster's tentacle. The monster let out a blood-curdling shriek and released Larissa. It disappeared in the water. Summer, Joey and Larissa were all panting. Summer saw the blood coming from Joey's wound, as did Joey for Summer's wound.
"You OK?" Joey asked. Summer nodded. She went over to her and the two helped each other out of the water.
"You?" Summer asked.
"Yeah, just a flesh wound...ah." Joey winced as she fell to her knees.
"That bad?" Summer asked, kneeling beside her.
"No...Not that...." Joey groaned. Larissa rushed over and kneeled by her as well.
"Now?" Larissa asked.
"It started....Before..when....ah....I was helping Blake and Tori...But I tried to....ignore it." Joey said.
"So how are we going to do this? It's not like we can put her back into the water." Summer stated. Larissa nodded.
"I have no idea as to what were gonna do." She replied. Summer looked around and spotted some trees, giving some shade.
"Got it." She said. "Rissa, help me get Joey underneath those trees, and then we can get water to cool her down." Summer told her. Larissa nodded and they both carried Joey over to the trees. Gently setting her down Summer looked around for something to carry water in.
"And there's nothing." She sighed. Suddenly there were approaching footsteps. Summer stood in front of Larissa and Joey. She went over and grabbed the branch she had used on the monster and held it up, just in case it was Kelzacks, or Zurgane. She crept close and flattened her back against a tree. Larissa held Joey protectively. A lone figure appeared. Summer grunted as she brought the branch down, hitting the person's back. He groaned and fell.
"Dustin!" Came a voice. Summer blinked and looked over to see Tori, Blake, Hunter, Shane, and Cam. She looked down to see the person she had just hit. It was Dustin.
"Summer?" Hunter sputtered. "What.What are you doing here?" He asked. He saw her bleeding arm. "What happened to you?" Shane looked over and saw Joey looking pale and sweaty, and also bleeding. He pushed through the others and went to her side. He pulled off his over shirt and held it against her bleeding hip.
"Joey, are you OK?" He asked softly.
"Will someone please tell me what's going on here, and why did Summer feel the need to hit me?" Dustin asked, getting to his feet.
"I'm sorry, I thought..."
"It doesn't matter what she thought. What are you guys doing here?" Larissa asked. There hadn't been any civilians by the cliff when the vortex appeared, had there?
"Uh..Dunno..." Dustin lied. Summer, Joey and Larissa looked at him skeptically.
"Yeah right...and I'm the Queen of Australia." Larissa commented sarcastically. Dustin bowed.
"Your majesty." Summer bopped him on the head with the branch.
"Tell us the truth." She told him. Dustin looked at his friends and back at the three girls.
"Only if you tell us." Dustin replied.
"We're power rangers, there." Joey grunted through her pain. Larissa and Summer looked at her in shock. Summer forced a laugh.
"Power Rangers..Us...Yeah right..I think Joey's a little delusional." Summer said.
"No, just not in the mood for....aw fuck....bullshit..." Joey replied. Dustin, Cam, Blake and Tori, who didn't know about Joey's illness, stared at her.
"What happened to you?" Tori asked.
"She gets really bad fevers sometimes." Hunter answered for Summer and Larissa. Shane nodded.
"Yeah, so unless one of you can pull something to carry water over to her out of your ass, I suggest you leave us alone." Larissa snapped. Summer turned around and looked at Larissa.
"Larissa!" She hissed quietly. Larissa looked at her.
"Yes?" She responded, using the same tone. Summer bit her tongue to keep from saying something she'd regret.
"Anyone got something to carry water in?" Summer queered. Shane looked at Tori. Tori caught the look.
"What?" She asked.
"Tori, please." He pleaded. Tori sighed.
"All right." She said. She looked at Summer and Larissa. "You two should move out of the way."
"What?" Larissa asked.
"Just do it." Shane said. He got up and pulled Larissa aside with him. Tori looked at the river and concentrated deeply. Summer stood by, confused. Suddenly a large wave came towards them. Summer ducked out of the way quickly. The wave hit Joey completely. Joey gasped and sputtered as the water covered her. The wave fell back. Joey coughed a few times. Summer, Larissa and Joey stared at her in shock. Summer was the first to regain use of her voice.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" She screeched loudly. Everyone plugged his or her ears.
"If you say that your power rangers... I guess were safe to say that we are too." Tori told them. Summer looked at Hunter.
"Ok, either this is one fucking strange dream....or my boyfriend and his friends, are the Power Rangers." She told herself quietly. She looked at Larissa, who looked back at her. Summer went over to Joey. "Are you OK?" She asked. Joey nodded, pinching her nose a bit to get the water out. Summer helped her to her feet. Joey looked at them all.
"So...Who's who?" She asked.
"Green Samurai Ranger." Cam said.
"Thunder Rangers." Blake and Hunter added.
"Wind Rangers." Shane, Dustin and Tori said. Summer's eyes widened. She handed Joey to Larissa, and then spoke.
"I knew that I had some sort of connection to you two," Summer said pointing at Hunter and Blake. "But I never would have guessed it would be this."
"What are you talking about?" Hunter asked.
"Pink Thunder Ranger." Summer replied. They both stared at her.
"How did you get the power? I mean-" Blake began.
"Girls weren't allowed in The Thunder Academy." Summer completed for him. "You'd be surprised how a pre-pubescent girl can pass as a boy by just covering her face, not talking and cutting her hair." Hunter blinked.
"You...You were the student who never showed his...er...her...face?" He asked.
"That would be me. But, thanks to some twelve year old asshole punching me in the nose and making me bleed, the Sensei found out my little secret." Summer said. Hunter looked down.
"Uh.....oh....um....sorry about that..." Hunter said sheepishly. Summer's eyes widened again.
"That.....was you!??!!?" She snapped. Hunter looked up and saw that she was a very angry girl right now. Hunter nodded, making Summer even angrier.
"I don't need this right now." She growled. She turned on her heal and stalked away. Hunter sighed. Dustin looked at Larissa and Joey.
"So, who's who?"
"Lightening Ranger." Larissa said.
"Fire Ranger." Joey said. Shane walked up to her.
"So, you're the one who's been calling me 'Big Red'?" He smirked. Joey's eyebrows shot up.
"You...You're...The red ranger? I think I'm going to go find Summer." Joey said, walking away. Shane grabbed her arm.
"You aren't going anywhere." He said. "Not while you're like this." Joey looked at him.
"I'm perfectly fine." She growled. Shane laughed.
"Yeah...sure." He told her pushing her gently onto the ground. "You're not going anywhere." He said. Joey sighed and gave up.
"Fine." Joey said. Larissa was staring at everyone.
"I really can't believe you guys are.." She said. Cam stared at her.
"Ditto." He breathed out. While everyone was busy being distracted, Hunter took that chance to sneak away in hopes of finding Summer.
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Summer stood overlooking a small river of water, a good 5 miles from where they had seen everyone. Sitting herself down gently. She ripped a bit of her shirt off and soaked it with water, then gently dabbed the water on the bite that she had received. She hissed loudly in pain, and tried to keep her tears from falling.
"Son of a bitch." She muttered.
"Are you OK?" Came a voice. She looked up to see Hunter walk over to her and sit down next to her.
"What do you want?" She said harshly.
"Summer, you can't tell me you're mad at me for something I did nearly six years ago....While I didn't know it was you when I did it.." Hunter said.
"All I know is I was getting pretty good training there. I felt connected with the Thunder Academy. When Sensei Oramo found out about me, he sent me to the Lightening Fire Academy. The training there was all right, but I knew I wasn't a Lightening or Fire Ninja. I was born a Thunder Ninja and because of you I was sent away from that place." Summer said. She turned her entire body away from Hunter and stared into the water. Hunter was thunderstruck.
"Summer..." He began. He ran his hands over his face and sighed. "Had I known.... I never would have done it....I don't-"
"Hit girls....I know." She sighed. She swiped at her tears. She sighed again. She turned back to him seeing his face twisted into a distressed expression. "I'm sorry." She said softly. "You're right, there was no way you could've known and I guess I might have provoked you into hitting me back then anyway."
"No..No it wasn't your fault. It was me and my stupid pride. I'm so sorry, I-"
"Hunter, it's OK." Summer said softly. "It's the past. This is the present. I love you." She said. Hunter smiled, relived.
"I love you." He replied. He hugged her gently. He moved her shirt a little to look at the bite. Summer hissed in pain, causing more tears to fall. Hunter smiled and kissed her gently.
"I guess that hurt huh?" He asked gently. Summer nodded. He gently removed the piece of cloth she had torn from her shirt and collected more water in it, and set it on her shoulder. She cried out in pain. Hunter hugged her tightly.
"Just ignore the pain honey....It'll be gone in a bit." Hunter gently turned Summer around she her back was pressed against his stomach, and they were both facing the water. She leaned her head into the crook of his neck and sniffled, trying to get her tears to subside. Hunter kissed her forehead gently and rubbed her arms. Hunter looked at her. "As much as it surprised the hell out of me, I'm glad you're a ranger." He said.
"Why's that?" She asked.
"Because I hated lying to you about leaving and everything. I didn't like keeping secrets from you." He replied. Summer tilted her head and looked up at him.
"I hated lying to you too." She whispered. Hunter lowered his head and captured her lips in a slow passionate kiss. Summer returned the kiss with full and equal passion. The broke away softly, the love struck look still caught in their eyes. Smiling, the both cuddled up together and continued to watch the water.

Zurgane re-appeared on the space ship and strutted around like he owned the place, looking for Lothor. Instead, he found Vexacus. They looked at each other.
"What do you want?" Vexacus snarled. If he could, Zurgane would have glared at him.
"I'm looking for Lothor." He growled back.
"What is it, Zurgane?" Lothor asked as he appeared with Marah and Kapri trailing behind him. Zurgane approached the evil monarch.
"Sir." Zurgane said with a bow. "I have sent the annoying rangers to a alternate island. They cannot morph or contact their Sensei. They are completely helpless." Lothor listened to his lackey speak, a slow smile spreading on his face.
"Wonderful." He said. He threw his arm around Zurgane's shoulders and led him off to the bridge. "Come, let us discuss the rest of your plan. Did I ever tell you that you are my favorite general?" Vexacus growled lowly and took off the opposite direction. Marah looked down. Dustin was in trouble.
"Wow, someone's jealous." Kapri remarked, looking at Vexacus's retreating form. Marah smiled a fake smile and nodded.
"Yeah, he's gonna be right pissed off." Marah replied emotionless. Kapri looked at her.
"What's your problem?" She asked her sister. Marah glared at Kapri.
"Why do you always assume there's something wrong with me!?" Marah snapped. Kapri backed away holding her hands up.
"Geez sis, calm down. I was just asking!" Kapri said defensively. Marah glared harder.
"IF I wanted you to know, I'd tell you! But since I don't, stay the fuck outta my life!" Marah screamed. Kapri glared at her. She stretched her hand out and sent a ball of energy at Marah. Marah shrieked as she fell back. Kapri went up to Marah.
"Don't ever take that tone with me, bitch." Kapri said lowly. "Just remember, I'm the one with the brains here, so don't even think about getting a hissy fit with me, got it?" Marah glared at her. Kapri frowned and lifted her foot. She pressed it against Marah's throat. "I said, got it?" Marah coughed and wheezed as she tried to push Kapri off.
"Yes...Yes I got it.." Marah finally said, giving in. Kapri lifted her foot.
"Good." Kapri said as she sauntered off to the bridge. Marah sat up, glaring at her back, rubbing her sore neck.
"Stupid bitch..." Marah muttered pushing herself into a standing position. "I'll teach her to mess with me." Marah growled stalking towards her room. "This ends now...."
"What the hell happened?" She wondered.
"Joey." Came a voice. Joey spun around to see Larissa coming out of some bushes. Relief filled Joey and she ran over and threw her arms around Larissa. Larissa hugged her back.
"Oh man, I thought you were....Well, I don't know, but still." Joey said. Larissa nodded.

"All right." She said. She looked at Summer and Larissa. "You two should move out of the way."
"What?" Larissa asked.
"Just do it." Shane said. He got up and pulled Larissa aside with him. Tori looked at the river and concentrated deeply. Summer stood by, confused. Suddenly a large wave came towards them. Summer ducked out of the way quickly. The wave hit Joey completely. Joey gasped and sputtered as the water covered her. The wave fell back. Joey coughed a few times. Summer, Larissa and Joey stared at her in shock. Summer was the first to regain use of her voice.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" She screeched loudly. Everyone plugged his or her ears.
"If you say that your power rangers... I guess were safe to say that we are too." Tori told them. Summer looked at Hunter.
"Ok, either this is one fucking strange dream....or my boyfriend and his friends, are the Power Rangers." She told herself quietly. She looked at Larissa, who looked back at her. Summer went over to Joey. "Are you OK?" She asked. Joey nodded, pinching her nose a bit to get the water out. Summer helped her to her feet. Joey looked at them all.
"So...Who's who?" She asked.
"Green Samurai Ranger." Cam said.
"Thunder Rangers." Blake and Hunter added.
"Wind Rangers." Shane, Dustin and Tori said. Summer's eyes widened. She handed Joey to Larissa, and then spoke.
"I knew that I had some sort of connection to you two," Summer said pointing at Hunter and Blake. "But I never would have guessed it would be this."
"What are you talking about?" Hunter asked.
"Pink Thunder Ranger." Summer replied. They both stared at her.
"How did you get the power? I mean-" Blake began.
"Girls weren't allowed in The Thunder Academy." Summer completed for him. "You'd be surprised how a pre-pubescent girl can pass as a boy by just covering her face, not talking and cutting her hair." Hunter blinked.
"You...You were the student who never showed his...er...her...face?" He asked.
"That would be me. But, thanks to some twelve year old asshole punching me in the nose and making me bleed, the Sensei found out my little secret." Summer said. Hunter looked down.
"Uh.....oh....um....sorry about that..." Hunter said sheepishly. Summer's eyes widened again.
"That.....was you!??!!?" She snapped. Hunter looked up and saw that she was a very angry girl right now. Hunter nodded, making Summer even angrier.
"I don't need this right now." She growled. She turned on her heal and stalked away. Hunter sighed. Dustin looked at Larissa and Joey.
"So, who's who?"
"Lightening Ranger." Larissa said.
"Fire Ranger." Joey said. Shane walked up to her.
"So, you're the one who's been calling me 'Big Red'?" He smirked. Joey's eyebrows shot up.
"You...You're...The red ranger? I think I'm going to go find Summer." Joey said, walking away. Shane grabbed her arm.
"You aren't going anywhere." He said. "Not while you're like this." Joey looked at him.
"I'm perfectly fine." She growled. Shane laughed.
"Yeah...sure." He told her pushing her gently onto the ground. "You're not going anywhere." He said. Joey sighed and gave up.
"Fine." Joey said. Larissa was staring at everyone.
"I really can't believe you guys are.." She said. Cam stared at her.
"Ditto." He breathed out. While everyone was busy being distracted, Hunter took that chance to sneak away in hopes of finding Summer.

Summer stood overlooking a small river of water, a good 5 miles from where they had seen everyone. Sitting herself down gently. She ripped a bit of her shirt off and soaked it with water, then gently dabbed the water on the bite that she had received. She hissed loudly in pain, and tried to keep her tears from falling.
"Son of a bitch." She muttered.
"Are you OK?" Came a voice. She looked up to see Hunter walk over to her and sit down next to her.
"What do you want?" She said harshly.
"Summer, you can't tell me you're mad at me for something I did nearly six years ago....While I didn't know it was you when I did it.." Hunter said.
"All I know is I was getting pretty good training there. I felt connected with the Thunder Academy. When Sensei Oramo found out about me, he sent me to the Lightening Fire Academy. The training there was all right, but I knew I wasn't a Lightening or Fire Ninja. I was born a Thunder Ninja and because of you I was sent away from that place." Summer said. She turned her entire body away from Hunter and stared into the water. Hunter was thunderstruck.
"Summer..." He began. He ran his hands over his face and sighed. "Had I known.... I never would have done it....I don't-"
"Hit girls....I know." She sighed. She swiped at her tears. She sighed again. She turned back to him seeing his face twisted into a distressed expression. "I'm sorry." She said softly. "You're right, there was no way you could've known and I guess I might have provoked you into hitting me back then anyway."
"No..No it wasn't your fault. It was me and my stupid pride. I'm so sorry, I-"
"Hunter, it's OK." Summer said softly. "It's the past. This is the present. I love you." She said. Hunter smiled, relived.
"I love you." He replied. He hugged her gently. He moved her shirt a little to look at the bite. Summer hissed in pain, causing more tears to fall. Hunter smiled and kissed her gently.
"I guess that hurt huh?" He asked gently. Summer nodded. He gently removed the piece of cloth she had torn from her shirt and collected more water in it, and set it on her shoulder. She cried out in pain. Hunter hugged her tightly.
"Just ignore the pain honey....It'll be gone in a bit." Hunter gently turned Summer around she her back was pressed against his stomach, and they were both facing the water. She leaned her head into the crook of his neck and sniffled, trying to get her tears to subside. Hunter kissed her forehead gently and rubbed her arms. Hunter looked at her. "As much as it surprised the hell out of me, I'm glad you're a ranger." He said.
"Why's that?" She asked.
"Because I hated lying to you about leaving and everything. I didn't like keeping secrets from you." He replied. Summer tilted her head and looked up at him.
"I hated lying to you too." She whispered. Hunter lowered his head and captured her lips in a slow passionate kiss. Summer returned the kiss with full and equal passion. The broke away softly, the love struck look still caught in their eyes. Smiling, the both cuddled up together and continued to watch the water.

Zurgane re-appeared on the space ship and strutted around like he owned the place, looking for Lothor. Instead, he found Vexacus. They looked at each other.
"What do you want?" Vexacus snarled. If he could, Zurgane would have glared at him.
"I'm looking for Lothor." He growled back.
"What is it, Zurgane?" Lothor asked as he appeared with Marah and Kapri trailing behind him. Zurgane approached the evil monarch.
"Sir." Zurgane said with a bow. "I have sent the annoying rangers to a alternate island. They cannot morph or contact their Sensei. They are completely helpless." Lothor listened to his lackey speak, a slow smile spreading on his face.
"Wonderful." He said. He threw his arm around Zurgane's shoulders and led him off to the bridge. "Come, let us discuss the rest of your plan. Did I ever tell you that you are my favorite general?" Vexacus growled lowly and took off the opposite direction. Marah looked down. Dustin was in trouble.
"Wow, someone's jealous." Kapri remarked, looking at Vexacus's retreating form. Marah smiled a fake smile and nodded.
"Yeah, he's gonna be right pissed off." Marah replied emotionless. Kapri looked at her.
"What's your problem?" She asked her sister. Marah glared at Kapri.
"Why do you always assume there's something wrong with me!?" Marah snapped. Kapri backed away holding her hands up.
"Geez sis, calm down. I was just asking!" Kapri said defensively. Marah glared harder.
"IF I wanted you to know, I'd tell you! But since I don't, stay the fuck outta my life!" Marah screamed. Kapri glared at her. She stretched her hand out and sent a ball of energy at Marah. Marah shrieked as she fell back. Kapri went up to Marah.
"Don't ever take that tone with me, bitch." Kapri said lowly. "Just remember, I'm the one with the brains here, so don't even think about getting a hissy fit with me, got it?" Marah glared at her. Kapri frowned and lifted her foot. She pressed it against Marah's throat. "I said, got it?" Marah coughed and wheezed as she tried to push Kapri off.
"Yes...Yes I got it.." Marah finally said, giving in. Kapri lifted her foot.
"Good." Kapri said as she sauntered off to the bridge. Marah sat up, glaring at her back, rubbing her sore neck.
"Stupid bitch..." Marah muttered pushing herself into a standing position. "I'll teach her to mess with me." Marah growled stalking towards her room. "This ends now...."
