Bsktballchik: I'm glad you liked my bringing in D/C. They are two of my all time favorite rangers and next to Kendrix and Leo my fav couple.
EXtreme eVolution: Thanks for reminding me to adjust that, I forgot about making this more than just a single sided attraction.
Rain: I'm glad you found 4 so enthralling it was one of my faves to write. I hope you like this chapter just as much. .
Blake-Tori88: I don't mind a Blake and Tori story but there are just so many and very very few T/H stories.
Spoiledblue: Guess you'll just have to wait and see. *evil grin*
Chapter 6 Changes
"Ok Polatack you're going down!" Shane shouted as they warped into the spot where the alien warrior was reeking havoc.
"Awe you seriously think you can defeat me little ranger boy?" The odd silver and black windmill like monster.
"Dude your sooo going to find out!" Dustin growled his full fury coming to the surface. No one but no one messed with his friends and got away with it.
"Ha!" Blake kicked a kelzak back away from him and then clobbered several more of the monstrous foot soldiers.

"It's not a trick by Lothor?" Tori asked and Hunter thought a moment and she could still feel Hunter's hand holding hers. Idly she wondered if he was aware of the fact. Still she didn't mind. It was kind of nice, knowing that he was there, in the flesh.
"I don't think so, what ever this shield thing is; I have a feeling it's on the up and up." Hunter replied easily.
"Yeah,"
"Tori?" Hunter asked at the odd tone in her soft voice.
"Yeah?" She asked and she sounded to be looking around. Right now he really wished he could have a little light, just enough to see her, to be sure she was really ok.
Suddenly their was a glow and he could see in the misty purple vapor the girl examining their surroundings. They seemed to be inn more than a mist; there was nothing he could see beyond it, just Tori who was looking now at him. .
"It's going to be ok." He said and she gave him a little smile, feeling a little better herself and then it hit her.
"I can see you." She murmured and he nodded.
"Yeah, I wished for a light." Hunter said shrugging.
"You wished?" She asked tilting her head as if trying to think that one over.
"Yeah."
"How?" She asked and he shrugged.
"I thought, I wish I had a way to see." He explained easily. They lapsed into a lull and then Tori spoke again.
"Hunter?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm glad your hear.' She told him adding. "You may be kind of introverted but I know you're a good ranger and you'd never leave me."
"'Hey, you know your right; I wouldn't, not unless I was under another dammed spell."
"Yeah," She remembered how scary he'd been like that and sighed.
"Come on lets see if this thing can't get us out of here." He said giving her hand a little squeeze.
"Right." And they were moving in the murkiness seeking a way back home.

"'Down goes the ranger." Polatack chirped in a sing song voice that was like nails on a chalk board.
"Dude you so need voice lessons." Dustin shouted kicking the monster.
"You're the one who needs a lesson." Polatack growled kicking the ranger out of his way.
"Wrong again!" Blake shouted and he pulled his blaster to shoot the villain even as there was a loud crash of thunder and a heavy lavender rain began to fall.
"What the!?" Shane called expecting to see another monster but instead lightening.
"Miss us?" Tori asked stepping out of the lightening.
"Tori?" Blake couldn't believe what he saw, she was there but there was a purple chest plate over her protective costume.
"In the flesh!" She grinned and kicked a kelzak out of the way.
"Hunter bro you're alright?" Blake asked and the crimson ranger looked around saying.
"'You could say that bro but right now we have a windmill to drown."
"You got it man." And it was really show time. Just then there was an explosion as Polatack was blown to roughly the size of the titanic standing up.
"We need Megazord power now!!" Shane called and they were in pose as Cyber-cam
Within minutes they were fighting and when it started to get really bad Polatack kicking the first Megazord and sending it crashing backwards.
"Ha!" Blake gave the villain a gale force shock of energy and it staggered back before coming back with a right hook.
"Let's bring them together guys!" And they were, forming the thunderstorm Megazord.
"Right." And they were, as a punch came towards the still docking zords there was a his and Hunter's seat slid into a newly formed seat beside Tori.
"Fancy meeting you hear.' She grinned and he nodded and then as the blow connected two hands met over the controller of the new weapon.
Within seconds the amethyst shield was shielding their front.
"What is that?" Shane asked the pair who were also glowing with a purple glistening light.
"It's called the soul shield." Cam said from his own seat. He'd heard of it but now, to actually see it was incredible.
"Woe!" As the blow was about to connect the Polatack creature was shocked and fell back.
"You know it bro!" Hunter grinned as they moved to finish off the monster.
It was fast and in a wild explosion FO alien guts the polatack was destroyed.
"Dude that's one shredded mill if you ask me." Dustin pumped a fist into the air triumphantly.

"Any lasting effects from the spell?" The doppelganger asked as Cyber-cam finished his examination of the previously downed blue wind ranger.
"No, actually I feel fine." She said honestly and physically she did, there was no lingering lightheadedness or dizziness.
"Good, that was way too close for comfort." Shane put in relieved his friends were both alright.
"Yeah, tell us about it." Hunter muttered and Cam just rolled his eyes.
"Tori, are you sure you're really ok?" Blake asked hen she was pulling back on her jacket a few minutes later.
"Yeah Blake I really am." she managed to look at him, but for some reason she couldn't meet his gently probing gaze, couldn't bring herself to truly confess how she felt just now.
"Listen can we talk outside for a minute?" He asked and she felt the heavy weight of dread closing in around her shoulders.
"Um, maybe later, I'm really tired, ok?" She asked hoping he'd take the hint and leave her be.
"Yeah, fine." He murmured wondering what she was not telling him. Still she had been through a lot today and probably needed a rest.
"She ok?" Hunter asked joining his little brother near the entrance of Ninja ops.
"Yeah, just wiped out." The navy clad young man replied thoughtfully as he watched the blonde disappear through the portal.
"Can't blame her, I'm a little slammed myself." Hunter said not thinking of what he was saying, his thoughts actually on the events of the day and his feelings about all f it.
"Yeah, well your still off so why don't you go on home?" Blake suggested and his voice brought Hunter back to the present.
"Actually I think I'm going to go for a ride." Hunter told him and started forward.
"Right, catch you later." Blake called watching his once more moody brother going.
