Tori woke up the next morning to a very uncomfortable feeling in her
abdomen. It wasn't the normal feeling of the twins- it was more like a
cramping sensation. Another one came over her then stopped. 'That- that
couldn't have been a contraction. . . could it?' she thought to herself.
(((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))
Blake raced into Ops. It was late afternoon, and he had slept the day away. His heart sank when he came in and he saw Cam still working on it.
"How long?" he asked. Cam looked up at him, then turned his attention back to the device. After a few seconds he stood.
"It's ready now. We have to move fast," he said. Blake's face was twisted in confusion at the sudden urgency he heard in Cam's voice.
"What happened? Why did you say it like that?" he asked nervously. Cam turned to him.
"It appears the meteor shower is coming sooner than expected. . . we have to get her out now."
Blake felt all the color drain out of his face. Hunter and Dustin came plowing down the stairs.
"Dude! We just heard the shower going to happen tonight!" Dustin said.
"Then you're going to need these," Laura said making her presence known. Cam turned and saw his wife holding four objects that resembled watches, but they had microphone-like faces and a small red button in the side. Cam walked over to her.
"What are these?" he asked as she handed him his.
"I found an old layout for communicators in the system. That way you all can keep contact when you get to the ship. They're directly connected to the decloaker, so once you lock onto the ship, you can transport there and back to wherever you set up the device," she said as she finished handing them out.
"Thank you," Blake said as he strapped his on. Cam was floored.
"You're a genius," he said kissing her. She smiled at him.
"I learned from the best," she replied. Blake looked around and forced a smile.
"Let's go."
(((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))
Another cramp hit Tori- this one was the strongest so far. It had been hours since her last one, but she defiantly knew something was happening. Suddenly Tori felt a release and found herself soaked from the waist down.
"Oh my god," she breathed when she realized her water had broken. "No- no it's too soon!" she cried as a wave of pain washed over her. She sunk to her knees and cried out again. They kept coming more frequently, and she tried her best to control her cries, but she couldn't.
She felt his presence in the room, but didn't feel like arguing with him. She felt a pair of arms wrap reach under her arms and help her onto the bed. She looked up at him and thought she saw a hint of sympathy in his dark eyes- but it soon faded.
"It appears that little storm has decided to come early," he sneered. Tori was breathing hard, and was sweating profusely. "it won't be long now," he said as he reached out to touch her belly. Tori threw her hand out at him, hoping to blast him with her ninja water powers, but instead a steady stream of blue energy cased in navy flew from her hand and straight at Taka's chest. He flew back into the wall. Tori pulled her hand back in shock.
Her powers had never been that strong before. Taka got to his feet and let out an evil laugh. "Their powers grow as their time draws near. It won't be much longer now." With that, he vanished back into the shadows.
Tori let a single tear run down her cheek. She would never let him get her children- not unless he killed her first. "I will not let this happen," she said. Gathering up her strength, she got up and walked over to the window where she could look out and see the water slowly becoming darker.
"Please, please let him see this," she begged as she closed her eyes in concentration. She placed both her hands on her stomach and gathered her energy. She heard a slow churning outside and opened her eyes. A large water funnel had begun to form. She slowly forced it upwards until it broke the surface.
(((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))
The guys all gathered at the beach. Cam pointed the device out at the water. "It may take a few minutes to detect it, but we will find it," he said. Blake looked out and saw a spout of water shoot out from a few hundred yards out.
"There! Cam that's it! It's Tori- I know it," he said. Cam did as he said and got a direct lock on the ship.
"Got it," he said. The guys all stood and threw off their street clothes to reveal their ninja suits.
"We don't have much time," Dustin said as the sky turned colors and the sun began to dip under the horizon.
Blake looked at his friends. "Just get her out. It doesn't matter who finds her first, just get her out." They all agreed. "Let's go."
(((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))
Tori felt like her body was being torn in two. It had been hours since the pain had started, and making that funnel drained more out of her than she thought. She leaned against the bed and tried to steady her breathing. 'Come on Blake- where are you?' her mind cried.
Her hope started to fade, then she felt the worst pain she had ever felt in her life. All she could do was let out the loudest scream she could, praying that someone would hear her.
((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))
The guys landed aboard the ship and set off in different directions. Cam and Dustin headed off to the left, and Blake and Hunter to the right. After they parted Dustin and cam met up with a few of Taka's 'guards' and began battling. Hunter had broken away from his brother and found an open passage leading down a long hallway. Blake walked into a large room that was lit by several torches on the wall. He spun around quickly looking for anything that could help him find his wife.
"you'll never find her," a dark voice said from one side of the room. Blake turned and watched as Taka emerged from the shadows. Blake's fists clenched and his anger rose.
"Where is she?" he demanded.
"If you're asking about Tori, she's a little busy delivering my latest prospects," Taka replied. Blake's face paled- Tori had already gone into labor.
"If you lay one finger on my kids or my wife-" he said.
"Ah, so you must be Blake." Just then a scream was heard that made Blake shudder. He knew it was Tori- he could feel her pain and fear.
"Where is she!" he demanded again.
"Kill me and find out!" Taka cried charging at him. Blake instantly went into fighting mode and they began. Blake knew he had to win- to save Tori and the twins.
Not too far away Hunter heard the cry as well- it was coming from the door in front of him. He went to it and listened. He could hear soft crying inside. "Tori?!" he called.
Tori lifted her head. Was someone calling her name? Again she heard it calling. She knew the voice. "Hunter? Oh god Hunter help me!" she cried. Hunter heard her inside and knew he had to get in there. He reached around and couldn't find an opening anywhere. He pushed, but nothing happened. With one swift move, he brought his leg up and broke the door down with a huge kick.
Tori was sitting on the floor, sobbing for joy. "Hunter!" she cried as another contraction hit. Hunter ran over and tried to remember all the things he had down when Sarah had Clarke. He placed his hand behind her back and pressed down on a spot near her spine. The pain stopped.
"You alright?" hunter asked, If looks could kill, the one Hunter received from his sister in law would have killed him right there. "Alright, I get it. Let's get you out of here." He raised the communicator to his lips.
"Guys I got her! Let's go!" he said. Within a second, they flashed out in crimson and blue.
The others heard Hunter's call, but were a little preoccupied. Cam and Dustin were trying to get away from whatever the creatures were, while Blake was facing their leader.
Blake fell to the ground. "No! She can't escape! Their power will be mine!" Taka cried running for the exit. Blake kipped up and ran after him, placing a kick in Taka's back. Taka fell and then stood to face the thunder ninja. Blake didn't even think as he barraged the evil being with a series of punches and kicks until he was lying in a heap on the floor.
Taka slowly raised himself up, but Blake fired at him with a beam of navy energy, sending flying into a wall. Blake walked up to him and grabbed him by the throat. "Leave now, and leave my family the hell alone," he said dropping him to the floor.
Blake ran out of the room and found Cam and Dustin. Together, they all teleported back to the beach.
