Episode 3
Vadinai's End Part 1
Dustin woke up early the next day from the sound of his alarm clock. He slowly rolled out of bed and stared at it to find the time. It was 8 in the morning. He was to suppose to meet Marah at Storm Chargers around 10 but first he had to go to work. He was hoping that if he does really good, Kelly would let him get out early so he can go and spend time with Marah. He got ready and went downstairs and out the door. The driveway was empty so his mom and his sister was out. He ran down the steps and out onto the street and started walking towards Storm Chargers. As he was walking he heard a van behind him and turned around. It was Tori and Blake.
"Your up early." Tori looked through the window at Dustin.
"Yeah, Gotta hit work you know." He told them, "What are you guys doing?"
"Blake and I are heading to the beach." She replied.
"Yeah, she wants to teach me how to surf again." He added.
"How you doing about last night?" Dustin put his arms on the open window.
"Better then Hunter that's for sure. He's still upset that he was played." he replied.
"And that Mirror?" Dustin asked.
"Sensei says its not dangerous and all it does is see the past so Hunter wants to hold onto it for a while but anyways need a lift?" Dustin nodded and quickly jumped into the van. Tori quickly drove down to Storm Chargers and Dustin hopped back out and waved to Tori and Blake as they drove off. He walked towards the door when he notice Alyssa in a corner talking. He went over and called out her name. She quickly turned around startled.
"Dustin!" she shouted.
"Who were you talking to?" He asked, looking around seeing noone.
"What do you mean? I wasn't talking to anyone." She told him He gave a skeptic look at her. "Come on, let's go in. Show me what you do at work." She smiled, grabbing his hand and leading him in.
"Dustin. Your..not late." Kelly looked up from the bikes.
"Yeah." They both walked over.
"Hi." Alyssa smiled, "So Dustin. What is your job around here. Is it the same as Blake and Hunters?" She asked looking around.
"Yeah Dustin. What do you do around here?" Kelly chuckled, "Some of those bikes over there need some repairs." she pointed
"Oh by the way can I-" Dustin started to ask as Kelly walked off.
"Yes Dustin, you can leave early if you get the things done." She interrupted him and went into the back room. Meanwhile at Wind Academy, Shane was training some students and teaching them some moves when Cam walked over.
"Alright guys, take a break for the day." He patted one of them on the back, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Having fun?" Cam walked to him.
"Oh yes. A lot." Shane sarcastically spoke as he wiped his forehead., "Any luck with the whole Vadinai and Vex thing?" He asked
"Not really. Just the fact that now they have the Gem of Souls. Don't know what they want with it though." Cam admitted honestly, "Anyways what are your plans for today?" He continue to ask.
"Some of my buds and I are going to the skate park. Why don't you come along. I'm sure you need some fun."
"Wont I just get in your way?" Cam hesitantly spoke.
"Naw man, You'll be fine." He said reassuringly, "Besides if they start making fun of you, I'll set them straight, so really man, you have nothing to worry about." He patted him on the back.
"Alright, let's go." Cam told him and they both walked off. They both enter the skate park where Shane greeted his friends with shakes and pats.
"Hey, have you found your brother yet?" One of them asked.
"What do you mean?" Shane turned to him, raising an eyebrow at him,
"Oh your brother is here. He was looking for you. He just left that way 10 minutes ago." He explained..
"Does he mean Porter?" Cam leaned in on the conversation.
"Yeah, I wonder what he's doing back here." Shane wondered.
"So what are you going to do about it?" One of the skater buds said.
" I better find him." He started to run.
"What about or skating session?" he yelled to him
"Some other time bro! Cam come on!" He waved him over, they both started running. As they started running, they entered the streets and looked around. There he found his brother walking in around in circles.
"Porter!?" Shane shouted to him. He turned around and smiled and waved at Shane. Suddenly a huge blast was fired near him, knocking him off the ground.
"Porter!" Shane screamed, running to him. Cam followed behind as the smoke cleared away and Vex appeared.
"Why is it, that every time I have some fun, you rangers are here!?" Vex roared.
"What do you think. Were Power Rangers." Shane spoke, helping his brother up, "And we never let bad guys have fun."
"Fools" He took a step back and was ready to fire another shot.
"What are you doing here?" Shane whispered to his brother.
"I was in the city for a meeting. I thought I say hi or something." He said, cleaning himself off.
"Stand back, we'll take care of this." Shane pushed him back.
"I'll contact the others." Cam spoke into his morpher. At the beach Tori and Blake were sitting in the sand talking, watching the waves.
"So Tor, I was thinking. There was this really cool movie I wanted to see and-" Blake hesitantly said.
"And you want me to go?" She finished his sentence, "Sure. When? She smiled.
Blake's face lit up with excitement."Tomorrow?" he responded
"Cool, It will be so-" she was about to say when the morphers beeped.
"What's up?" Blake answered.
"We have trouble in the south city, near the skate park." Cam told them.
"Were on our way." Tori replied and they both got up.
"Ninja Storm, Thunder Storm, Ranger Form Ha!" They both morphed. At Storm Chargers Dustin was finishing the last bike and Alyssa was sitting on the counter. Alyssa was smiling, kicking her legs up and watching Dustin. Then her face grew serious and she looked off into the distant.
"What's the matter?" Dustin asked, rising up from the bike with a concern look on his face. The door opened and Marah and Hunter walked in.
"I have to go Dustin. I'm needed somewhere else." She started running to the door.
"Wait but:-" He try to call out to her but she was already gone.
"Ready?" Marah asked, coming up to Dustin.
"Uh." Dustin began saying, scratching his head. The morpher beeped and Hunter answered
"What can I do for you?"
"South City. Vex is here..wait Vadinai just joined us. We need your help." Cam answered back.
"Marah, Duty calls." Dustin ran to the door with Hunter, "Wait here, I'll be back." She frowned but nodded.
"Ninja Storm, Thunder Storm, Ranger Form Ha!" Dustin and Hunter yelled. They joined the rest of the gang in the city.
"6 Rangers want to meet their end today apparently." Vadinai began to laugh and levitated herself off the ground.
"Enough talk, we fight." Blake charged. Vadinai waved her staff sending a bolt of lighting right at Blake and knocking him back. The rest of the rangers jumped in the air to strike but Vadinai and Vex both teleported away. Vex appeared behind Shane and slashed him right in the back. Vadinai reappeared on top of a building and shot energy balls from her staff, hitting Hunter and Dustin. She then jumped off and in front of Dustin. She picked him up and threw him inside a building.
"Damn, she doesn't hold back." Dustin try get up. He took out his sword and try strike but Vadinai blocked it and knocked him back down again.
"I'm already sick of you." She hissed and struck him again with her staff. This time though Dustin manage to grab it and was trying to pull it out of her hand.
"I'll be taking that." Dustin shouted pulling harder.
"I don't think so." She snapped back and began to laugh. Dustin looked down and notice energy building at the end of the staff and a huge surge of lighting blasted Dustin knocking him into a wall. He groaned in pain as he try to get out. Collapsing back down, he lost his Ranger form. Vadinai walked over to him as he got out from under the rubble, coughing and moaning. He looked up at her and she took a step back.
"No.." she whispered.
"What?" Dustin asked, trying to get up, holding his injured arm and shaking his head to get all the dust out.
"Dustin.." she began to speak.
"You know my name?" he asked taking a step forward. Suddenly Vadinai was hit in the back by Marah with blast from her finger tips, knocking her forward and making her helmet fly off.
"Don't you hurt him." she yelled.
"Marah!" Dustin was stunned. Vadinai rose back up, her long brown hair was reveled from the helmet and she brushed it out of the way showing her face.
"What!? Alyssa!?" Dustin was even more stun. She gave an evil look at Marah and looked back at Dustin again, "Isn't this a tight situation." She laughed evilly.
"How could you.." Dustin tried to walk to her. She took a step back and snapped her finger. Her staff and helmet appeared in her hands. She put her helmet back on and fired her staff, making Dustin take a step back.
"My own brother a ranger? This could be interesting. The stakes have been raised. Till next time. " she disappeared and reappeared next to Vex.
"Vex, we leave." She commanded him.
"I'm taking a souvenir first." He grinned and ran right past the rangers and to Porter.
"Porter!" Shane turned around and yelled. Before Porter had a chance to do anything, he and Vex disappeared. Dustin and Marah ran out of the building right when Vadinai disappeared also.
"No! Porter!" Shane ran forward and looked around.
"What does he want with him." Tori wondered.
"Vadinai. She's my sister.." Dustin frowned, looking at the ground.
"What?" Everyone said in unison. . Shane grabbed Dustin and shook him.
"What does she want with him man!" He looked at Dustin right in the eyes.
"I don't know." He pushed him off, glaring at him.
"Guys, let's just get back to Ninja Ops." Cam told them and Ninja Streaked away. Marah used her powers and teleported over. She walked down the stairs where Shane and Dustin were still arguing.
"Come on, settle down." Blake told them, breaking them away from each other,"Its no ones fault."
"Wait so your sister impersonates our mother, takes the gem of souls, and kidnaps Shane's brother. What is she trying to do?" Hunter turned to Dustin.
"I don't know!" He raised his voice. Blake nudged Hunter in the stomach and Hunter got the hint to shut up.
"I'm going to look for him. I'm sure Vex wants something. He'll show if I show." Shane ran out. The others were about to follow when Cam shouted out to them.
"Let him go, we have more things to worry about. They sent another alien."Cam pulled up an image from the terminal, "Goes by the name Snake Face. I'll stay here and monitor anything, you guys get going ." They all nodded, morphed and went into the city where they found the Snake. He stood upon two legs and his head was a huge cobra head. His arms were long and slender, and at the end, he had two snake head as hands. His tail was a long rattlesnake tail that snapped every time he hissed.
"That is one ugly thing." Tori said, pulling out her sword. Vadinai appeared next to Snake Face and pulled out her staff.
"Alyssa!" Dustin took a step forward. She snapped her fingers and Snake Face charged forward towards the rangers, spitting out acid from each of its small arm heads. Dustin dodged out of the way and ran to Vadinai.
"You don't have to do this!?" He cried out to her.
"I must Dustin!" She aimed her staff out.
"I know there is still some good left in you. Your still my sister." He told her. She hesitated for a few minutes but then fired at Dustin. He jumped out of the way at the nick of time and got back up.
"Alyssa..." He pleaded, "You wouldn't have left that mirror for Hunter and Blake if you were truly evil. Come on Alyssa!"
"Stop calling me that!" she screamed and fired again.
"And if you had no good in you, I know you wouldn't have said all those kind things to Hunter or even destroyed me on the spot when you had the chance. So that means you still have good left in you. Pull off this attack!!!" He kept convincing her. Meanwhile, Shane was in the park screaming out Vex's name. The park was empty and silence, no one else but him was in the park. Well, almost no body.
"Were you looking for us?" Vex appeared, holding his brother.
"Let him go.:" Shane turned and glared at him.
"I'll exchange." He held him close.
"For what?" Shane took a step forward.
"Your battlelizer powers. " He replied.
"No, I wont give those to you. Never."
"Then you wont mind me finishing him off now will you." Vex held up a sword and put it against Porter's throat.
"Don't do it Shane." Porter try to struggle. Shane looked down to think about it. He couldn't risk it or even trying to challenge him. If he even bothered to fight, it could mean putting Porter in danger.
"Fine.." Shane groaned. Vex began to laugh,
"Haha excellent" Shane took a step forward and held out his Morpher. He closed his eyes and transfer his powers to Vex. Vex held up his sword and the power started to absorb into the green crystal on it.. After the transfer, Shane stumbled from his power drainage and collapsed on the ground.
"I have no further use for you." He looked at Porter and pushed him towards Shane, "Quickly now Red Ranger, My plans are about to unfold and your friends are in trouble. See you there." Vex vanished, his laugh echoing as he disappeared.
"You fool." Porter helped him up, "Now you have no battlelizer power right?"
"I don't know. I have to go and help the others." Shane try to walk.
"Your to weak." Porter ran to him.
"I'll be fine. Just head to Storm Chargers. I'll see you there afterward." He nodded and Shane ninja streaked away to the battle. Vex was already there, side by side with Vadinai.
"Alyssa, I believe in you. I believe your still in there." Dustin took a step forward. Vadinai looked to the ground and then at Vex.
"Let's go. We are through here." She spoke.
"No. Vex began to laugh.
"Shane. You alright." Dustin looked at him, as he appeared next to him.
"Yeah, grand." He sarcastically stated. .Dustin stared at him concerned,. Shane winked and patted him on the back and smiled, "Dude, I'm fine." He nodded and turned to Vadinai and Vex who were arguing.
"You are through Vadinai." He pulled out his sword and slashed her.
"No!" Dustin yelled. Vadinai dropped her staff and the gem of souls and turned back to Dustin and then fell to the ground with a huge explosion. Vex bent down and picked up the gem of souls and her staff. He took the crystal out of the staff and threw the staff aside.
"Why did you do that. Why did you attack your own comrade!?" Shane yelled to him.
"Comrade? I was simply using her. You helped me power up this crystal Shane as she helped me power up the one she carried. Now that I have both of them and the gem of souls, I can carry out my plans." He began to laugh and vanished. Snake Face also retreated and the rest of the rangers ran towards were Shane and Dustin was. Dustin quickly ran over to the debris where Alyssa laid there unconscious.
"We should take her back to Ninja Ops." Cam told them. He nodded and they all left. Back at Storm Chargers Sensei was examining Alyssa as everyone waited silently.
"Well." Dustin took a step forward. Marah put her hand on his shoulder and stayed silent.
"I don't know the condition quite yet. She has lost her powers and for that it has weaken her." Sensei spoke as he got up. Dustin moved through the crowed and towards the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Tori turned to him.
"Vex is going to pay." He turned his head to the side to answer.
"Revenge is not the answer Dustin." Sensei walked forward.
"No but it doesn't mean it's not an option." He turned to them, "Besides, we need to get the gem of souls back. Allow me to take care of it."
"This is not like you." Marah spoke up. Dustin looked down for a second and then turned around and walked off.
"We'll look after him." Hunter patted Blake and they both ran up. They exited out side and onto the courtyard. It was raining heavily and the sky began to thunder.
"Where did he go?" Blake looked around. Hunter took a step forward and knelt down, picking up Dustin's moprher.
"I don't think he wants to be followed." He looked at Blake. Shane and Tori walked out and Blake and Hunter turned to them and held up the Moprher. Shane gave a loud sigh and then walked forward.
"I have to head to Storm Chargers. My brother is there. Let me now if you find Dustin or anything out of the ordinary." He said and ran off into the rain. Hunter, Blake and Tori went back down into the Ninja Ops and try to dry themselves off. Hunter put the morpher down on the table and walked over to Cam.
"Why would Vex do something like this." He asked Cam.
"I'm not quite sure yet. He was holding two crystals, one from Vadinai's staff, and one from his sword. He also absorbed some of Shane's ninja powers and has possession of the gem of souls" Cam explained. Tori knelt down next to Alyssa and looked at her.
"Poor thing. She was being used this whole time." She said. Blake put her hand on Tori's shoulder.
"I'm sure she'll come around. We need to find Dustin though." he reassured her. She rose up and nodded to him.
"I know she played us before, but not even she deserves this." Hunter admitted.
At Storm Chargers, Shane entered soaking wet. Porter was chatting with Kelly when they turned to see Shane soaked from the rain.
"Man, I can't believe it started raining all of a sudden." Shane rubbed his hair, getting all the water out and on the floor.
"Shane!" Kelly came around the counter, "Look at the mess you made." She shook her head at him.
"It makes your store stand out more." Shane jokingly stated. She punched him in the arm hard.
'Ow." Shane groaned, rubbing his arm, "I was kidding, I'll clean it up." He chuckled.
Kelly smiled innocently and then walked into the back leaving Porter and Shane alone to talk to each other. Porter walked over and greeted his brother.
"Is this how it's going to be every time Shane. I come and visit and I end up in a huge mess." He smiled.
"Hope not." Shane walked over, "I came over to say goodbye. Not exactly a good idea for you to be here right now."
"I was thinking the same thing. To bad though." Porter told him, "So what of your powers?" He asked Shane.
"Not sure. Cam says he drained most of my ninja powers and my battlelizer ability that Skyla gave to me. I'm guessing I wont be able to summon it till I get that back." He answered.
"Well good luck." He patted him on the back, "I have a plane to catch. I'll see you around bro and be careful." He shook his hand and left. Kelly walked back out with a whole bunch of boxes.
"Did your brother leave?" Her voice behind the boxes spoke.
"Yeah."He replied.
"That's cool, remind Dustin to show up for work tomorrow." She continued. Shane frowned and crossed his arm.
"I'll try." He responded. Kelly sat the boxes down and brushed her hair out of her face.
"Why what's the matter?" she asked with a concern in her voice.
"Nothing." Shane started to head to the door, "He will be at work tomorrow. Bright and early." Shane smiled at her and ran out.

"Don't do it Shane." Porter try to struggle. Shane looked down to think about it. He couldn't risk it or even trying to challenge him. If he even bothered to fight, it could mean putting Porter in danger.
"Fine.." Shane groaned. Vex began to laugh,
"Haha excellent" Shane took a step forward and held out his Morpher. He closed his eyes and transfer his powers to Vex. Vex held up his sword and the power started to absorb into the green crystal on it.. After the transfer, Shane stumbled from his power drainage and collapsed on the ground.
"I have no further use for you." He looked at Porter and pushed him towards Shane, "Quickly now Red Ranger, My plans are about to unfold and your friends are in trouble. See you there." Vex vanished, his laugh echoing as he disappeared.
"You fool." Porter helped him up, "Now you have no battlelizer power right?"
"I don't know. I have to go and help the others." Shane try to walk.
"Your to weak." Porter ran to him.
"I'll be fine. Just head to Storm Chargers. I'll see you there afterward." He nodded and Shane ninja streaked away to the battle. Vex was already there, side by side with Vadinai.
"Alyssa, I believe in you. I believe your still in there." Dustin took a step forward. Vadinai looked to the ground and then at Vex.
"Let's go. We are through here." She spoke.
"No. Vex began to laugh.
"Shane. You alright." Dustin looked at him, as he appeared next to him.
"Yeah, grand." He sarcastically stated. .Dustin stared at him concerned,. Shane winked and patted him on the back and smiled, "Dude, I'm fine." He nodded and turned to Vadinai and Vex who were arguing.
"You are through Vadinai." He pulled out his sword and slashed her.
"No!" Dustin yelled. Vadinai dropped her staff and the gem of souls and turned back to Dustin and then fell to the ground with a huge explosion. Vex bent down and picked up the gem of souls and her staff. He took the crystal out of the staff and threw the staff aside.
"Why did you do that. Why did you attack your own comrade!?" Shane yelled to him.
"Comrade? I was simply using her. You helped me power up this crystal Shane as she helped me power up the one she carried. Now that I have both of them and the gem of souls, I can carry out my plans." He began to laugh and vanished. Snake Face also retreated and the rest of the rangers ran towards were Shane and Dustin was. Dustin quickly ran over to the debris where Alyssa laid there unconscious.
"We should take her back to Ninja Ops." Cam told them. He nodded and they all left. Back at Storm Chargers Sensei was examining Alyssa as everyone waited silently.
"Well." Dustin took a step forward. Marah put her hand on his shoulder and stayed silent.
"I don't know the condition quite yet. She has lost her powers and for that it has weaken her." Sensei spoke as he got up. Dustin moved through the crowed and towards the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Tori turned to him.
"Vex is going to pay." He turned his head to the side to answer.
"Revenge is not the answer Dustin." Sensei walked forward.
"No but it doesn't mean it's not an option." He turned to them, "Besides, we need to get the gem of souls back. Allow me to take care of it."
"This is not like you." Marah spoke up. Dustin looked down for a second and then turned around and walked off.
"We'll look after him." Hunter patted Blake and they both ran up. They exited out side and onto the courtyard. It was raining heavily and the sky began to thunder.
"Where did he go?" Blake looked around. Hunter took a step forward and knelt down, picking up Dustin's moprher.
"I don't think he wants to be followed." He looked at Blake. Shane and Tori walked out and Blake and Hunter turned to them and held up the Moprher. Shane gave a loud sigh and then walked forward.
"I have to head to Storm Chargers. My brother is there. Let me now if you find Dustin or anything out of the ordinary." He said and ran off into the rain. Hunter, Blake and Tori went back down into the Ninja Ops and try to dry themselves off. Hunter put the morpher down on the table and walked over to Cam.
"Why would Vex do something like this." He asked Cam.
"I'm not quite sure yet. He was holding two crystals, one from Vadinai's staff, and one from his sword. He also absorbed some of Shane's ninja powers and has possession of the gem of souls" Cam explained. Tori knelt down next to Alyssa and looked at her.
"Poor thing. She was being used this whole time." She said. Blake put her hand on Tori's shoulder.
"I'm sure she'll come around. We need to find Dustin though." he reassured her. She rose up and nodded to him.
"I know she played us before, but not even she deserves this." Hunter admitted.
At Storm Chargers, Shane entered soaking wet. Porter was chatting with Kelly when they turned to see Shane soaked from the rain.
"Man, I can't believe it started raining all of a sudden." Shane rubbed his hair, getting all the water out and on the floor.
"Shane!" Kelly came around the counter, "Look at the mess you made." She shook her head at him.
"It makes your store stand out more." Shane jokingly stated. She punched him in the arm hard.
'Ow." Shane groaned, rubbing his arm, "I was kidding, I'll clean it up." He chuckled.
Kelly smiled innocently and then walked into the back leaving Porter and Shane alone to talk to each other. Porter walked over and greeted his brother.
"Is this how it's going to be every time Shane. I come and visit and I end up in a huge mess." He smiled.
"Hope not." Shane walked over, "I came over to say goodbye. Not exactly a good idea for you to be here right now."
"I was thinking the same thing. To bad though." Porter told him, "So what of your powers?" He asked Shane.
"Not sure. Cam says he drained most of my ninja powers and my battlelizer ability that Skyla gave to me. I'm guessing I wont be able to summon it till I get that back." He answered.
"Well good luck." He patted him on the back, "I have a plane to catch. I'll see you around bro and be careful." He shook his hand and left. Kelly walked back out with a whole bunch of boxes.
"Did your brother leave?" Her voice behind the boxes spoke.
"Yeah."He replied.
"That's cool, remind Dustin to show up for work tomorrow." She continued. Shane frowned and crossed his arm.
"I'll try." He responded. Kelly sat the boxes down and brushed her hair out of her face.
"Why what's the matter?" she asked with a concern in her voice.
"Nothing." Shane started to head to the door, "He will be at work tomorrow. Bright and early." Shane smiled at her and ran out.
