To anyone, he looked human- but he was far from it. Once a great
fighter against evil, an alien named Taka slowly became corrupted with the
idea of absolute power. He defected away from good and vanished deep into
the universe in hopes of attaining great evil powers. Over time he became
obsessed with getting power from others in order to make him stronger.
Throughout his journey, he had learned of an ancient prophecy of two beings that will hold a power so great that they would be able to defeat the darkest evil- the same prophecy that Cam had read. For most of his life, Taka had tried to figure out what was meant by 'thunder and water,' and now he finally knew.
A little run in with Lothor a while back showed him exactly where to look- now all he had to do was watch and wait until he could get the power.
((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))
A month had passed and Cam still had not told Tori and Blake about the danger their children's lives could be in. Tori was now beginning to show, much to her delight, and Blake was on cloud nine. Cam decided that it could not wait anymore.
Tori was sitting on the hill that overlooked the motocross track with Marah, who was holding Shayne, and Sarah with Clarke. They all watched as three bikes pulled up. Dustin went over and sat next to Marah and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her cheek.
Hunter took Clarke from Sarah and began walking away. "Hunter! Don't put him on the bike," she said laughing as she went after her husband. Dustin and Sarah followed them, while Blake walked over and helped Tori to her feet. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him lightly.
"How you feeling today?" he asked pulling away a little to look at her belly.
"I'm feeling great," she said leaning into him again. He kissed her forehead and they began walking back to his bike. Tori turned and saw Cam running over to them.
"Hey guys," he said as they reached him.
"Cam? What's up? You look kind of flustered," Blake said.
"I need you guys to come with me," he said.
"Where?" Tori asked.
"Ninja Ops." Tori and Blake exchanged odd glances, but didn't ask questions as they followed Cam back to the academy.
(((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))
Sensei sat at the head of the table in ops while Cam took up his spot in front of the super computer. Tori and Blake sat next to each other on their navy and blue pillows and read over the scroll Sensei laid out in front of them. After a few minutes, Blake spoke.
"What's the big deal? This seems like a good thing to me," he said. Sensei rose and looked at him.
"It would seem like a good thing to me as well Blake, if it were not for the visions and feelings I have been having."
"What kind of feeling Sensei?" Tori asked. Sensei began to pace the room.
"I have the distinct feeling that we are not the only ones who know of this prophecy," he said, his tone a little deeper than before. Tori instinctively placed her hands on her stomach- knowing that something was wrong. "Many years ago, a being known as Taka began his search for power. He used to be a great warrior against evil, but over time his mind became twisted, and now he is bent on obtaining all the power he can gather in order to become all-powerful." Blake felt Tori edge herself closer to him and he wrapped and arm around her waist protectively. "So you think he's coming for. . ." Tori's voice trailed off as she realized what Sensei was trying to say. Taka was coming after the twins. "Unfortunately Tori, that's precisely what I'm saying," he said bowing his head. Blake didn't realize it, but his free hand had rested itself over Tori's that lay on her stomach. "We can't let anything happen to them," Blake said sternly looking at Sensei. "No we cannot," Sensei said. "And we won't," Cam said rising from his seat. "We'll all be watching out for you both- and the twins," he said with a smile. "Thank you," Tori said as she and Blake rose. They silently walked out of Ops holding hands.
(((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))
Later that night, Tori sat on her bed with a small blue notebook in front of her. She smiled as she turned the pages and came across the song she had written Blake all those years ago. Her mind wandered back to the night he had surprised her and told her that he loved her for the first time. Tears began to prick behind her eyes. Blake would be home soon from Hunter's. He went to tell everyone about Taka.
She reached over to her nightstand and wound up a silver music box that Blake had given her. The gently melody started to play and she lay down on the bed. The tank top she was wearing was becoming too small for her, and clearly showed her protruding stomach.
She slowly began to run her hands over the small mound and began to sing softly to her unborn children to the tune coming from the box.
"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you. . ." she stopped when she saw Blake leaning up against the doorframe looking at her. Tori bit her bottom lip a little and smiled at him.
"How long were you standing there?" she asked as he made his way over to her. He sat down on the bed next to her and placed a hand on her cheek.
"Long enough to see that you're going to be a great mom," he said bending over to kiss her. Tori smiled and sighed. Blake laid down next to her and put his hand on her abdomen. He saw a look of worry in his wife's eyes.
"Tor, nothing's going to happen to them- I promise. I won't let it." Tori had to smile at that.
"I know you won't." She leaned over and captured his mouth in a heated kiss that took his breath away. They pulled away looking for oxygen.
"Wow," Blake said smiling.
"I love you ya know." Tori said. Blake kissed her again and got up. He made his way over to their stereo and put on a CD. Tears filled Tori's eyes as she recognized the melody. He went back over to her and offered his hand like he had done years ago.
Slowly they began swaying to the music. Blake held her left hand in his and brought her to rest on his chest. His arm snaked around her back and hers around his neck.
"I love you," his whispered in her ear as they continued their dance. Tori knew they would never let anything happen to each other or their children. And in those few beautiful moments as they held one another life was perfect.
'Today I took a walk up the street
And picked a flower and climbed the hill
Above the lake
And secret thoughts were said aloud
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away
And were we ever somewhere else
You know, it's hard to say
I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that
I can't believe a month ago
I was alone, I didn't know you
I hadn't seen or heard you're name
And even now, I'm so amazed
It's like a dream, It's like a rainbow, it's like the rain
And somethings are the way they are
And words just can't explain
Cause I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before
And it feels like now,
And it feels always,
And it feels like coming home
I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that.'
