Episode 14
Day of Destiny Part 1
Hunter and Blake ninja streaked as fast as they could to the crashed site. Thoughts were racing through there mind, as they ran through the thick woods.
"Please Cam, be all right." Hunter whispered as he jumped over a log and made his way through a small path. Hunter stopped dead in his track in front of the crashed site. Blake caught up and looked around. Pieces of the ship was scattered everywhere. The body of the ship dug itself deep into the earth, from the impact with smoke rising from it.
"Cam!" Blake called out, searching around. Hunter started to pry away parts of the ship, hoping that Cam was under it, alive and breathing. They both continue to search, but there efforts were in vain. He was no where to be found.
Hunter looked up into the sky, "You don't think he..." He trailed off.
Blake shook his head, interrupting him, "Don't say that bro." That's when something from the corner of their eye caught there attention. It was Vexacus, standing right there. He must of flew out before the fortress crumbled, leaving him unharmed.
"Vexagon!" Blake backed away.
Vexagon spread his wings out and summoned his two broad swords, "6 little rangers decided to play with fire. 1 got burned and now he's gone." He grinned.
Hunter got into a defensive stance and glared at him, "Your not funny man. Come on Bro, let's show him to never mess with the Thunder Rangers."
"Thunder Storm, Ranger Form! Ha! Power of Thunder!" They both shouted, morphing into their crimson and Navy ranger suite. They both pulled out their Thunder Staffs and circled around Vexagon.
"Were taking you down, once in for all!" Blake said, charging towards him. Vexagon flapped his wings, and took off into the sky, flying around the two rangers.
"That's what you say ever time you fight me." He smirked, "And in the end you lose." And with that he blasted a shot at the rangers, hurling them onto the ground. Vexagon landed back on his feet and started walking towards him. Hunter got up and changed his Thunder Staff into the Tornado Star and fired a projectile at him. Vexagon deflected the attack and charged at Hunter, knocking him off his feet again. He then picked the crimson ranger up and tossed him at the body of the crashed storm vehicle.
"Hunter!" Blake yelled, getting up to attack. Vexagon was to fast for him, his powers were strong. Vexagon swiftly moved out of the way and hit Blake right in the back, and then tossed him near Hunter.
Hunter was all worn out and sore from the battle. He tried to get himself up, "What now?" He said, helping his brother up.
Blake stumbled forward, "Lets see if he enjoys a jolt of lighting." Blake grinned. Hunter stood beside him and they both held out their hand, charging up a surge of crimson and navy energy. Vexagon took a step back. Hunter and Blake both shot their finger forward, launching a lighting attack at him. Vexagon held up his sword, and started to absorb the attack, sending it right back at them. The two rangers fell back and lost their ranger form. Vexagon then fired at the crash storm vehicle, creating an explosion that sent the Thunder Brothers flying farther back into the woods and down a hill. They both tossed and turned, all the way down and both became unconscious by the time they hit the bottom. Vexagon looked from the top of the hill at the two rangers that weren't moving.
"That's 3 down, 3 to go." He grinned and vanished. Meanwhile back at what was left of Storm Chargers, the wind rangers, stood their ground, waiting for the figure to revealed himself. Kelly was so confused on what the three of them were doing, and she was upset of what happen to her store.
"Guys, let's get out of here." Kelly said, trying to get up.
"Show yourself ScaleFace." Shane shouted at the figure that was cloaked in a shroud of smoke. Kelly walked over to the three, "ScaleFace? Guys? What is going on?" She asked. ScaleFace walked out from the smoke, with an army of Shadow Stalkers behind him. There were a dozen. They all surrounded the rangers. Kelly got a bit scared, holding on to Dustin's arm.
"Please tell me this is a dream" Kelly said.
ScaleFace laughed, "This is no dream. This is the nightmare. The end of the rangers."
Tori shook her head, "The only thing ending is you." She snapped back.
Dustin quickly turned and looked at Kelly, "You know that explanation you wanted on why I'm always late?" He told her. She stared at him a bit confused, "Let's just say this has something to do with it." And he pushed her to the side and intercepted a shadow stalker's hidden attack. That signaled all the shadow stalkers to swarm at the wind rangers. Dustin did his best to protect Kelly, dodging at attack and kicking back one of the shadow stalkers.
"Since when did you guys know martial arts?" She was both amazed and confused, as she stayed behind Dustin, keeping away from the bad guys. Shane and Tori both double teamed a group of shadow stalkers. Flipping each one of them over and landing a blow to finish them off. Tori dodged an attack from behind her and kicked another one of the shadow stalkers back. The three wind rangers regrouped as the Shadow Stalkers moved closer on them.
"There's way to many of them." Shane said to his comrades.
Tori glanced at both of them, "Were going to have to morph." Replied.
Dustin looked at Kelly, "But." He protested, looking back at the other two.
Shane shook his head, "Don't worry about that. She's seen plenty already." He said, rolling up his sleeve, revealing his moprher, "We don't have a choice." Tori nodded in agreement as she rolled her sleeve up.
"Guys.." Kelly said, staring at the strange device on their wrist. Dustin sighed and revealed his moprher also.
"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form! Ha! Power of Air, Power of Water, Power of Earth!" The three of them shouted. Kelly's jaw dropped as she saw them change into their rangers form.
"Wha-wha-what? You guys are.." She couldn't find the right words. The three wind rangers pulled out their ninja swords and slashed back all the shadow stalker. Shane pulled out his Hawk Blaster and began firing away at them all, clearing a path to ScaleFace. He made his way to him and tried to hit him. ScaleFace moved out of the way and slashed the Red Ranger with his claws. Shane turned around and hit him back. Vexagon was flying above the city, when the battle caught his eye. He swooped down and shot a blast at Shane and landed next to ScaleFace. Tori and Dustin eliminated the last Shadow Stalkers and went over to help Shane up.
"Vexagon." ScaleFace turned to him. Vexagon notices his minions were defeated. He raised his hand and a dozen more appeared.
"We need to retreat." Shane said, backing away, "We can't do this alone." Dustin and Tori nodded in agreement.
The yellow ranger turned to Kelly, "Grab onto my hand. Were going to get out of here." He said to her. She nodded, trusting Dustin. He picked her up, and ninja streaked out of the battle field with Tori and Shane following behind. Vexagon stepped forward, summoning a few dozen more shadow stalkers.
"Spread out, destroy this whole city!" He commanded them. Back at the crash site, Hunter began to awake. He slowly lifted his head, dazed from his blackout. He blinked a few times and rubbed his head.
"Ugh, what a headache." He groaned as he tried to get up. He dusted himself off, taking all the leaves out of his hair. He then noticed Blake and ran to him, kneeling down beside him.
He shook him a bit, "Hey, Blake. Wake up." He said. Blake began to groan, as he awoke. He sat up and looked at him.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I think Vexagon got the best of us." Hunter replied as he stood up. He walked over and looked up at the hill, where they fell from. Blake stood up and walked right beside him.
Blake was a bit worried, looking back down at the ground, "I hope the other three are all right." He said.
Hunter turned to him and stuck his hand on his shoulder, "Let's head to Ninja Ops. We got to tell them what happened." He responded. They both ninja streaked away, entering the academy courtyard. The ninja students all stopped and watched as the Thunder Rangers made their way through. They didn't realize what a mess they were. Their clothes were dirty and tattered from the last battle. They opened the latch and made their way down the stairs and into Ninja Ops where the found the Wind Rangers, Kelly, Sensei and Marah in the room.
Tori turned to them, "Oh my god. What happened to you guys?" She ran to them.
Hunter's eye caught Kelly, sitting against the wall, "Uh, what's going on here?" He looked at her. Dustin was sitting in the chair, when he responded, "Oh that, um you see we had a little run in with ScaleFace. We had no choice but to moprh and she was kind of there when we did it."
"They destroyed Storm Chargers also if you don't mind me adding." Shane spoke up.
Hunter closed his eyes, "Damn." He mumbled.
"Marah and Sensei filled in on what happen with the storm vehicle. Please tell me you found Cam." Said Tori, a little worried.. Hunter and Blake exchanged looks. They both shook their head at the same time.
"There were no traces of him. We looked everywhere. The ship was totally trashed. No one could of survived that." Blake responded unhappily.
Tori shook her head, "No..." She trailed off.
Sensei walked forward, "Cam knew what he had to do. This was his choice. We must stay focus for the sake of saving this world." He explained to them.
"But." Shane mumbled, "We can't do this without Cam."
Sensei turned to him, "We must try. I am upset of this lost to, but we must put are feelings aside for now and stop Vexagon." Shane nodded as the terminal began to beep. Dustin spun his chair around and stared at the screen.
He looked down at all the buttons, "Uh, how do I work this?" He asked. Marah went over and hit a button, bringing up images from all over the city. The rangers and even Kelly all gathered at the screen as they watch the city fall into ruins. The Shadow Stalkers were everywhere, destroying everything. The residents were all fleeing from their lives. One of the images showed ScaleFace walking through debris.
"We have to stop them." Hunter spoke up.
Blake nodded, "Yeah but they're everywhere."
"Ahem.." Sensei caught the ranger's attention, "Then we shall gather the ninja students to aid us into battle. Marah, inform the academy of this plan of action."
"Don't forget the Thunder Academy students." Hunter added in, "Send word to them." Marah nodded and ran up the stairs.
Shane stepped forward and turned to them, "I will handle ScaleFace." He said.
"And Vexagon?" Tori asked.
"No one battles him alone. We contact each other if one of us runs into him." Shane responded. Everyone nodded in agreement. Dustin went over to Kelly as the Sensei and the rest of the rangers went out into the courtyard.
"Will you be okay here?" Dustin asked her.
"Yes." She answered him, "I can't believe you're a ranger."
Dustin chuckled, "Yeah. So much for it being a secret but you got to promise not to tell anyone."
"All right, be careful." She gave him a hug. He hugged her back and then ran up into the courtyard where the students of the wind academy were all lined up, facing the rangers and Sensei.
"For many years now, people of Blue Bay Harbor do not know the existent of this academy or the students for we kept it a secret." Sensei began to speak, "Now is the time to reveal to the world, the existent of Ninjas such as yourselves in order to protect them. Follow the rangers into battle and listen to what they tell you." The students all bowed to him, "You still must keep your identity a secret, so do not remove your mask."
Blake took a deep breath, "Let's hope this is enough." He said.
Sensei turned to them, "I wish you luck." He said.
Shane then took a step forward and glanced at the rangers, "Let's do it guys."
"Ninja Storm, Thunder Storm, Ranger Form Ha!" They all shouted, "Ninja Ranger Power!" Each student of Water, Air and Earth went with their mentor as they headed into the city. 5 or 6 students were with each ranger except for Blake and Hunter which joined up with Leann and a few Thunder Students. Dustin and his students ran through the south part of the city where they ran into a half a dozen Shadow Stalkers. Dustin turned to his crew and notice Marah in the group.
"What are you doing here!?" He exclaimed.
"I'm here to help." Marah replied.
"But-but." Dustin protested
"I'm not listening. This is my fight to." She interrupted. Dustin sighed and turned towards the shadow stalkers.
"Let's go!" He commended them. They all ran out and started to battle them. Dustin took out his ninja sword and slashed through a bunch of them. He flipped over and behind one of them and kicked it in the leg. Marah then spun around and blasted him with her powers. Dustin gave her the thumbs up as he continued battling. One of the ninja earth students used an earth skill and traveled underground, appearing behind a group of shadow stalkers. He tripped them all, but only to be thrown aside from another Shadow Stalker. Dustin ran over and helped him up.
"Come on, we got to keep trying!" He told him. Tori was in the east part of the city having similar luck as Dustin. Her students all used the water skills to blast all the shadow stalkers back.
"All right! Keep it up!" She exclaimed as she flipped a shadow stalker over. She took out her sonic fin and began blasting away at each of them. She jumped out of the way as parts of a building broke off and hit the ground.
"That was a close one." She looked down at the debris. Blake and Hunter were stationed in the middle of the city where they greeted Leann and her Thunder Students who were wearing their ninja clothes and hood to conceal their identity.
"It's been a while Sensei." She bowed to Hunter.
Hunter chuckled, "You don't need to do that you know."
"But you're the head master. Of course I do." She smiled. It soon faded away when a bunch of Shadow stalkers came running out a building chasing people away.
"Shall we?" Blake turned to Leann. She grinned and they both pulled out their Thunder blades. The thunder students and the rangers all charged forward, catching the shadow stalker's attention.
"We can do this bro." Hunter said confidently as he smacked a shadow stalker in the side of the face with his staff. Leann noticed a young couple trapped in a corner by a shadow stalker. She swiftly moved in and intercepted his attack before it could hurt them. She flipped him over and jabbed him in the stomach with her Thunder Blade.
"You all right?" She asked them. They both nodded.
"Thank you, Thank you whoever you." He replied to her and they both ran off. Leann then looked towards the Thunder Rangers who was busy fighting off more Shadow Stalkers.
"Where does Vexagon make all these things?" Hunter said, kicking back a shadow stalker.
"You mean these freaks? Probably makes them. That's why there is no end to them." Blake replied.
Hunter then stopped fighting and thought for a sec, "Then we should be fighting Vexagon, not wasting our time with these." He responded before ducking from an attack.
Blake gave him a stern look, "I know, but we can't take him on ourselves and we aren't going to." Hunter nodded, and they both continued to battle. Shane and his students of Air ran to the beach. Shane noticed people up near the cliffs.
"Go up there and help them out. I'll deal with ScaleFace." He told them. They all nodded and ran off towards the cliffs. Shane took a step forward, looking for any sign of the dragon. Sure enough, ScaleFace appeared in front of the Red Ranger.
"Looking for me?" His voice caught Shane's attention.
"Matter of fact I am." Shane responded, pulling out his ninja sword, "Laser Blaster engage." He shouted, changing his sword into a blaster. He fired a few shots at ScaleFace who deflected the attack. ScaleFace jumped into the air and started to circle around above Shane. He shot a fire ball from his mouth right towards the Red Ranger but Shane luckily flipped out of the way of the blast and pulled out his Hawk Blaster.
"I can work on my target practice." Shane joked, firing away into the sky at him. ScaleFace swooped high up into the air, twirling and dodging the ranger's attack. He then dived back down and smacked right into Shane who lost balance from the impact.
Shane quickly got up, "Ninja Sword Gold Mode!" He shouted. He held up his sword as ScaleFace turned and dive down at him again. The red ranger quickly slashed at ScaleFace, sending him crashing onto the beach. Shane ran forward and kicked ScaleFace back on the ground before he could get up. ScaleFace grew angry and spread his wings out, knocking Shane down. He got back up and turned to the ranger only to be hit from a blast if wind out of no where. Shane turned to see the students standing there, using their ninja air skills to keep ScaleFace at bay.
"Thanks, I'll take it from here!" Shane shouted as he got up, "Battlelizer engage!" He shouted and jumped into the air, changing into his battle armor. ScaleFace took a step back as Shane landed back on the ground.
"Eat this!" Shane yelled as he fired his powerful attack at him. ScaleFace tried to block the attack but it was to powerful and he was to weak from the battle. He fell to the ground and exploded, leaving nothing left of him.
Shane power down back to his ranger form, "We did it!" He turned and cheered with his fellow students.
"Guys! ScaleFace is no more!" Shane talked into his morpher.
"Good job Shane!" Tori's voice replied.
"All right!" Dustin's followed after.
"I know there are some shadow stalkers lurking around, let your students handle this and meet back at the academy. We need to take down Vexagon." Shane explained.
The thunder brothers responded, "Meet you there then."
Shane put his arm down and turned back to his students, "Search the beach for anyone that needs help. Come back to the academy when you are done." He commanded them. They all bowed and split off to search the beach. Shane ninja streaked back to the academy. He ran through the woods and made it to the waterfall where he found the rest of the rangers, still in their ranger form.
"Let's go in!" Dustin said as he walked through the portal. Everyone followed and entered. As they made it to the other side, they bumped into Dustin.
"What's the hold up?" Tori asked.
Dustin pointed to speechless to say anything. It was Vexagon flying through the air, firing at the academy and students. The academy building started to crumble and fall apart. Fire and smoke was everywhere.
"Come on!" Hunter yelled as he made his way through the courtyard. The rangers followed and found Sensei battling Vexagon the best he could. Vexagon was simply to powerful and blasted Sensei off his feet. Vexagon then landed on the ground and noticed the rangers.
"There you are, I didn't think you guys would show." He grinned and turned to them.
"How did you get in here?" Shane sneered at him.
"It doesn't take much." Vexagon smirked.
Tori stepped forward, "I had enough of you." She barked at him.
"Feisty." Vexagon laughed. The rangers charged forward at Vexagon who rose into the air. Vexagon shot a wave of lighting at the rangers, who all manage to dodge out of the way.
"Ninja Glider Cycle. Flight mode engage." Hunter shouted and jumped on his bike and flew up into the air. He flew high up and dived right at Vexagon. Vexagon held out his sword and slashed at Hunter as he went by, ripping off part of the wings. Hunter lost control and crashed back on the ground, losing his ranger form.
Blake went over to him, "You all right man?" He knelt down beside him. Hunter groaned, trying to lift himself up, "Stay here. I'll handle this." He reassured him and pulled out his Thunder Blade. He ran towards Vexagon, locking blades with him. Vexagon slashed away at Blake who manages to block it with his weapon. Blake then twirled his body around and spun his double blade as fast as he could, in hopes to land a blow on him. Vexagon reacted to every move and grabbed a hold of Blake who dropped his weapon. Blake struggled to break free as was lifted off the ground.
"Blake!" Tori shouted. Vexagon fired a blast at the rest of the rangers to keep them from getting close. He then tossed Blake high up in the air and sends a surge of lighting at him. The navy ranger fell back onto the ground and lost his ranger form, unable to move. Vexagon turned to the last three remaining rangers.
"We need to work together. Don't let him get a hold of you." Shane told them.
"He'll pay for hurting our friends." Tori said angrily. The three rangers charged forward holding their ninja swords out. Vexagon quickly threw them back with his brute strength. Shane took out hawk blaster and fired at him. The blasts didn't even phase him. Vexagon just laughed evilly as he fired a shot of his own, knocking Shane down and losing his ranger form. Vexagon then turned to the Blue and Yellow ranger and snapped his fingers. The ground began to shake and vines came ripping out of the ground, grabbing hold of them.
"With Master Org's Horn, his powers are my powers." He grinned as he drained the two rangers energies. Dustin and Tori felt their strength leaving, as they began to lose their ranger form. Vexagon released them and they both fell to the ground. Blake and Hunter finally awoke and lifted their heads at Vexagon. The wind rangers did they same as they watch him take a step closer.
"Is this it?" Shane whispered to himself. Then suddenly a powerful blast hit Vexagon back.
"Who did that!?" Vexagon looked around, "Show yourself." He growled.
"Miss me Vexagon?" A voice from on top of the academy roof was heard. The rangers all turned and gasped as Vexagon took a few step back.

Dustin chuckled, "Yeah. So much for it being a secret but you got to promise not to tell anyone."
"All right, be careful." She gave him a hug. He hugged her back and then ran up into the courtyard where the students of the wind academy were all lined up, facing the rangers and Sensei.
"For many years now, people of Blue Bay Harbor do not know the existent of this academy or the students for we kept it a secret." Sensei began to speak, "Now is the time to reveal to the world, the existent of Ninjas such as yourselves in order to protect them. Follow the rangers into battle and listen to what they tell you." The students all bowed to him, "You still must keep your identity a secret, so do not remove your mask."
Blake took a deep breath, "Let's hope this is enough." He said.
Sensei turned to them, "I wish you luck." He said.
Shane then took a step forward and glanced at the rangers, "Let's do it guys."
"Ninja Storm, Thunder Storm, Ranger Form Ha!" They all shouted, "Ninja Ranger Power!" Each student of Water, Air and Earth went with their mentor as they headed into the city. 5 or 6 students were with each ranger except for Blake and Hunter which joined up with Leann and a few Thunder Students. Dustin and his students ran through the south part of the city where they ran into a half a dozen Shadow Stalkers. Dustin turned to his crew and notice Marah in the group.
"What are you doing here!?" He exclaimed.
"I'm here to help." Marah replied.
"But-but." Dustin protested
"I'm not listening. This is my fight to." She interrupted. Dustin sighed and turned towards the shadow stalkers.
"Let's go!" He commended them. They all ran out and started to battle them. Dustin took out his ninja sword and slashed through a bunch of them. He flipped over and behind one of them and kicked it in the leg. Marah then spun around and blasted him with her powers. Dustin gave her the thumbs up as he continued battling. One of the ninja earth students used an earth skill and traveled underground, appearing behind a group of shadow stalkers. He tripped them all, but only to be thrown aside from another Shadow Stalker. Dustin ran over and helped him up.
"Come on, we got to keep trying!" He told him. Tori was in the east part of the city having similar luck as Dustin. Her students all used the water skills to blast all the shadow stalkers back.
"All right! Keep it up!" She exclaimed as she flipped a shadow stalker over. She took out her sonic fin and began blasting away at each of them. She jumped out of the way as parts of a building broke off and hit the ground.
"That was a close one." She looked down at the debris. Blake and Hunter were stationed in the middle of the city where they greeted Leann and her Thunder Students who were wearing their ninja clothes and hood to conceal their identity.
"It's been a while Sensei." She bowed to Hunter.
Hunter chuckled, "You don't need to do that you know."
"But you're the head master. Of course I do." She smiled. It soon faded away when a bunch of Shadow stalkers came running out a building chasing people away.
"Shall we?" Blake turned to Leann. She grinned and they both pulled out their Thunder blades. The thunder students and the rangers all charged forward, catching the shadow stalker's attention.
"We can do this bro." Hunter said confidently as he smacked a shadow stalker in the side of the face with his staff. Leann noticed a young couple trapped in a corner by a shadow stalker. She swiftly moved in and intercepted his attack before it could hurt them. She flipped him over and jabbed him in the stomach with her Thunder Blade.
"You all right?" She asked them. They both nodded.
"Thank you, Thank you whoever you." He replied to her and they both ran off. Leann then looked towards the Thunder Rangers who was busy fighting off more Shadow Stalkers.
"Where does Vexagon make all these things?" Hunter said, kicking back a shadow stalker.
"You mean these freaks? Probably makes them. That's why there is no end to them." Blake replied.
Hunter then stopped fighting and thought for a sec, "Then we should be fighting Vexagon, not wasting our time with these." He responded before ducking from an attack.
Blake gave him a stern look, "I know, but we can't take him on ourselves and we aren't going to." Hunter nodded, and they both continued to battle. Shane and his students of Air ran to the beach. Shane noticed people up near the cliffs.
"Go up there and help them out. I'll deal with ScaleFace." He told them. They all nodded and ran off towards the cliffs. Shane took a step forward, looking for any sign of the dragon. Sure enough, ScaleFace appeared in front of the Red Ranger.
"Looking for me?" His voice caught Shane's attention.
"Matter of fact I am." Shane responded, pulling out his ninja sword, "Laser Blaster engage." He shouted, changing his sword into a blaster. He fired a few shots at ScaleFace who deflected the attack. ScaleFace jumped into the air and started to circle around above Shane. He shot a fire ball from his mouth right towards the Red Ranger but Shane luckily flipped out of the way of the blast and pulled out his Hawk Blaster.
"I can work on my target practice." Shane joked, firing away into the sky at him. ScaleFace swooped high up into the air, twirling and dodging the ranger's attack. He then dived back down and smacked right into Shane who lost balance from the impact.
Shane quickly got up, "Ninja Sword Gold Mode!" He shouted. He held up his sword as ScaleFace turned and dive down at him again. The red ranger quickly slashed at ScaleFace, sending him crashing onto the beach. Shane ran forward and kicked ScaleFace back on the ground before he could get up. ScaleFace grew angry and spread his wings out, knocking Shane down. He got back up and turned to the ranger only to be hit from a blast if wind out of no where. Shane turned to see the students standing there, using their ninja air skills to keep ScaleFace at bay.
"Thanks, I'll take it from here!" Shane shouted as he got up, "Battlelizer engage!" He shouted and jumped into the air, changing into his battle armor. ScaleFace took a step back as Shane landed back on the ground.
"Eat this!" Shane yelled as he fired his powerful attack at him. ScaleFace tried to block the attack but it was to powerful and he was to weak from the battle. He fell to the ground and exploded, leaving nothing left of him.
Shane power down back to his ranger form, "We did it!" He turned and cheered with his fellow students.
"Guys! ScaleFace is no more!" Shane talked into his morpher.
"Good job Shane!" Tori's voice replied.
"All right!" Dustin's followed after.
"I know there are some shadow stalkers lurking around, let your students handle this and meet back at the academy. We need to take down Vexagon." Shane explained.
The thunder brothers responded, "Meet you there then."
Shane put his arm down and turned back to his students, "Search the beach for anyone that needs help. Come back to the academy when you are done." He commanded them. They all bowed and split off to search the beach. Shane ninja streaked back to the academy. He ran through the woods and made it to the waterfall where he found the rest of the rangers, still in their ranger form.
"Let's go in!" Dustin said as he walked through the portal. Everyone followed and entered. As they made it to the other side, they bumped into Dustin.
"What's the hold up?" Tori asked.
Dustin pointed to speechless to say anything. It was Vexagon flying through the air, firing at the academy and students. The academy building started to crumble and fall apart. Fire and smoke was everywhere.
"Come on!" Hunter yelled as he made his way through the courtyard. The rangers followed and found Sensei battling Vexagon the best he could. Vexagon was simply to powerful and blasted Sensei off his feet. Vexagon then landed on the ground and noticed the rangers.
"There you are, I didn't think you guys would show." He grinned and turned to them.
"How did you get in here?" Shane sneered at him.
"It doesn't take much." Vexagon smirked.
Tori stepped forward, "I had enough of you." She barked at him.
"Feisty." Vexagon laughed. The rangers charged forward at Vexagon who rose into the air. Vexagon shot a wave of lighting at the rangers, who all manage to dodge out of the way.
"Ninja Glider Cycle. Flight mode engage." Hunter shouted and jumped on his bike and flew up into the air. He flew high up and dived right at Vexagon. Vexagon held out his sword and slashed at Hunter as he went by, ripping off part of the wings. Hunter lost control and crashed back on the ground, losing his ranger form.
Blake went over to him, "You all right man?" He knelt down beside him. Hunter groaned, trying to lift himself up, "Stay here. I'll handle this." He reassured him and pulled out his Thunder Blade. He ran towards Vexagon, locking blades with him. Vexagon slashed away at Blake who manages to block it with his weapon. Blake then twirled his body around and spun his double blade as fast as he could, in hopes to land a blow on him. Vexagon reacted to every move and grabbed a hold of Blake who dropped his weapon. Blake struggled to break free as was lifted off the ground.
"Blake!" Tori shouted. Vexagon fired a blast at the rest of the rangers to keep them from getting close. He then tossed Blake high up in the air and sends a surge of lighting at him. The navy ranger fell back onto the ground and lost his ranger form, unable to move. Vexagon turned to the last three remaining rangers.
"We need to work together. Don't let him get a hold of you." Shane told them.
"He'll pay for hurting our friends." Tori said angrily. The three rangers charged forward holding their ninja swords out. Vexagon quickly threw them back with his brute strength. Shane took out hawk blaster and fired at him. The blasts didn't even phase him. Vexagon just laughed evilly as he fired a shot of his own, knocking Shane down and losing his ranger form. Vexagon then turned to the Blue and Yellow ranger and snapped his fingers. The ground began to shake and vines came ripping out of the ground, grabbing hold of them.
"With Master Org's Horn, his powers are my powers." He grinned as he drained the two rangers energies. Dustin and Tori felt their strength leaving, as they began to lose their ranger form. Vexagon released them and they both fell to the ground. Blake and Hunter finally awoke and lifted their heads at Vexagon. The wind rangers did they same as they watch him take a step closer.
"Is this it?" Shane whispered to himself. Then suddenly a powerful blast hit Vexagon back.
"Who did that!?" Vexagon looked around, "Show yourself." He growled.
"Miss me Vexagon?" A voice from on top of the academy roof was heard. The rangers all turned and gasped as Vexagon took a few step back.
