Episode 15
Day of Destiny Part 2
"You were supposed to go down with your ship." Vexagon sneered at him.
"Ca-Cam?" Shane stood up and looked. The familiar green ranger nodded, taking out his samurai saber.
He laughed, "Come on Vexagon. Do you really think you can get rid of me that easy?" Vexagon fired a blast at the Samurai Ranger. Cam quickly jumped off, dodging the attack as it hit the side of the academy. He landed safely on his feet and charged forward at Vexagon, slashing away.
Vexagon stumbled a bit, "You pesky Ranger." He growled. Cam and Vexagon both locked swords and began to parry with each other. Cam dodged his sword and kicked him back. He then jumped forward at him, only to be hit back by a blast. Cam struggled to get back up and regrouped with the others.
Tori lunged forward, hugging him, "I'm so glad your okay." She whispered. He broke away and smiled.
"Shall we show him who's boss around here?" Hunter grinned, glaring at Vexagon. Cam nodded and the rangers all turned to face him.
"Ninja Storm! Thunder Storm, Ranger Form! Hah! Ninja Ranger Power!" They all charged forward and began to battle Vexagon again, this time with more confidants. They both charged forward and hit Vexagon, making him drop one of his swords. Hunter and Blake both jumped in the air and fired a few shots at him, while Dustin and Tori snuck behind him. Vexagon quickly deflected the attack only to be hit by Tori and Dustin from behind. The rangers were all using their speed and teamwork, weakening Vexagon. The black wing villain began to lose patients and fire a 360 lighting shot at them all. He then lunged forward and knocked everyone but Cam to the ground. Cam swiftly manage to dodge as he saw the rangers lose their forms again.
"There is nothing you can do to stop me." Vexagon evilly laughed, "I can take 6 rangers on with ease."
Sensei walked behind him and got his attention, "Then how about the whole academy?" Vexagon turned around and saw dozens and dozens of Wind Students facing him.
"You aren't forgetting about us now are you?" Leann shouted, appearing with a group of Thunder Rangers. Everyone surrounded Vexagon, getting in a defensive stance. The Wind rangers split and joined their students, and Hunter and Blake did the Thunder Students. Cam stepped forward and Vexagon turned to him.
"See Vexagon, that is your weakness. You thought your powers were invincible, letting your guard down." Cam spoke to him. Vexagon glared at him, raising his sword.
Cam looked at the rangers, "Guys, ninja powers!" He commanded them.
They nodded their heads and thrusted their right arm forward, "Power of Earth! Power of Water! Power of Air!" They shouted, sending a beam of power from their finger at Vexagon, similar to what they did to defeat Lothor.
Vexagon shelter himself beneath his black wings, "You think this could stop me!?" He laughed.
Hunter and Blake took a step forward, "Power of Thunder!" They joined in, sending a surge of Navy and Crimson Power at Vexagon. Vexagon, continue to block the attacks. He thrusted his wings open, sending a guest of wind, knocking the rangers off their feet.
"We got to try harder! We can't let him escape." Tori shouted, getting back up.
Shane turned to his fellow Air Ninja Students, "Come on guys! Give us a hand! Were all in this together." He shouted, "Power of Air!" He said, trying one more time. This time his students did it to.
"Yeah, you heard him. Come on!" Tori shouted, "Power of Water!"
"Were right behind you Sister T." Dustin exclaimed, "Power of Earth!"
The Thunder rangers watched in amazement, "Come on this is our battle too!" Hunter yelled.
"To the end, Sensei!" Leann exclaimed.
"Power of Thunder!" The brothers yelled out. The Students and Rangers all used their ninja powers on Vexagon.
"Arg!" Vexagon groaned, keeping his wings over him to block the massive attack. It was to strong and he wasn't able to break it off. He'd fly away, but the moment he let his guard down, he knows he would be destroyed. He couldn't believe the mess he got himself into.
That's when Cam raised his Samurai Saber into the air, "Samurai Saber, Power up!" He called out. He slashed at Vexagon, tearing off Vexagon's wings. The wings fell to the ground as he was hit by all the ranger's ninja attack.
"No!" He shrieked. His whole body began to glow white, as the rangers and students continued to use all their powers. A huge explosion, and a gust of wind knocked everyone off their feet. Shane looked up as the smoke began to clear.
"Did we do it?" He asked as he got up. He walked forward to where Vexagon once stood. All that remained was a few black feathers that slowly floated back to the ground near his broad sword. Shane knelt down and picked it up. The sword shattered and the Gem of souls, Power and Magic shards began to swirl in the air, and took to the skies.
Shane was puzzled, "Huh?" He looked up as he saw them disappeared.
Cam demoprhed and went to him, "Where did it go?" He asked.
"No idea." He replied, "Hopefully far away."
Dustin ran over and started to jump around, "Dude! Vexagon is finally gone! We should be celebrating!"
Shane smiled, "Yeah Dustin! I'm with you Bro!" He exclaimed. Everyone in the academy started cheering and laughing. They were all quite proud with there victory. Vexagon was now truly gone and it wouldn't have been possible without everyone. It took the team work of the Thunder & Wind academy and not just the Rangers but the students also.
Blake made it through the crowd to Tori, "We did it!" He exclaimed. Tori nodded and jumped into Blake, giving him a big hug. Hours later, the celebration began to settle down and all the students began to clean and repair the damages. The rangers all gathered at Ninja Ops where many questions were waiting to be answered.
"Well Cam?" Shane was the first to ask as he watched the green ranger sit down in his usual chair.
He spun it around and looked at him, "What?" He asked.
Dustin chuckled, "Come on man. You had us worried. Where have you been?"
Cam glanced over to where Kelly was standing, listening closely, "I'm guessing she knows who we are now?"
Everyone exchanged looks and nodded, "Sensei said it was all right. That we had no choice. Kelly can keep a secret." Tori explained.
"Yes I can." She spoke up, "Well, you going to tell everyone what happen to you?" She was a bit curious herself. She overheard bits and pieces of conversations of Cam missing from other people. Here was her chance to find out more.
Cam smiled, "Well, the time bomb didn't exactly work well as I planned. Vexagon interfere, slowing the ship down. We were still in range of the blast and it wiped out every electrical system. I manage to get myself to the escape pod and launch myself out."
Tori raised an eyebrow, "You had an escape pod? You never told us that."
He grinned, "I don't tell you everything. Of course I had one. It had no electronics so it was un-affected by the bomb. "
"So what took you so long?" Hunter asked, "I mean we looked everywhere for you."
Cam sighed, "It crashed in the water. This terminal should have shown it all, didn't you notice something launching out of the ship?"
Blake shook his head, "No, Marah zoomed in. We must have missed it."
Tori sighed, "Well that takes care of that part. Now all I want to know was who Vexagon was. I mean if Alyssa was Vadinai, don't you think Vex might have been human also?"
Cam thought for a sec, "You have a point. Maybe the answers will surface someday."
Shane clapped his hands together and looked at everyone, "Come on man, Vexagon is defeated. Here, 5 o'clock tomorrow, we must have a party to celebrate our victory." He exclaimed.
Dustin cheered loudly, "Yeah! I love parties."
"Well I don't know." Cam tried to protest.
"I think the rangers deserve to have a little party." Sensei spoke as he made his way down the stairs with Leann.
"You must join us, Leann." Hunter insisted.
She nodded, "I would love to join." The next day came quickly and Sensei made the one time exception to let them skip school. The only exception since he was pleased that his son was safe and thought that the rangers deserved a little celebration after everything they went through. Dustin awoke bright and early, from the sound of his alarm clock. It was 10 o'clock, a bit too early for him. He rolled over out of his bed and stumbled into the bathroom.
He looked in the mirror and smiled, "Hey, today's that party. Heh, and I was supposed to take that History Test. Oh well." He said to himself. He combed his hair and stuck on a plaid yellow shirt and some blue jeans. He then explored the house to make sure his mother was gone, for she has no idea that he was skipping school. With no sign of her he quickly ran out of his house where he saw Tori pulling up in his driveway. Dustin hopped in and Tori started to drive towards Ninja Ops to help set up for the party.
"Our first day of peace." Dustin said cheerfully, "Too bad. I'm going to miss the ranger thing again."
Tori chuckled, "Yeah me to. Let's enjoy this day while it last." She responded. She continues driving past the beach where she noticed Kelly handing Blake a white envelope on the pier.
She stopped the Van and glanced over at Dustin, "What are they doing?" She asked. Dustin shrugged, trying to get a good look at them. They both got out and walked over to them. Kelly noticed them and waved. Blake quickly stuffed the white envelope in his pocket and waved also.
Tori smiled and waves backed, "Aren't you suppose to be at Ninja Ops Blake?" She asked him. He sighed, exchanging looks with Kelly.
"Come on Dustin." Kelly grabbed his hand, "Let's go. I wanna know any other secrets your hiding from me." She laughed, pulling him away.
Tori was a bit confused, "What's going on?" She eyed Blake carefully.
He looked out into the water, "Factory Blue called again." He told her.
She smiled, "Oh that's cool. Did they want you back or something?"
He turned to her, "Yeah. This time though, I may be gone longer." He said.
She shrugged, "So? You can always visit. Can't you?"
He shook his head, "No. The deal is, I stick through this to the end. No sudden disappearance, or visits in till it's over."
"What? That's not fair." She protested, "Can they do that?"
Blake sighed, "Pretty much. All I have to do is sign the contract. I want to continue my Motocross career, and here I'm getting a second chance. I can't pass this up."
Tori frowned, unable sure of what to say, "When are you schedule to leave."
He looked at his watch, "There's a flight heading out at 6. I have to be on that." Tori was stunned by the sudden news. The party was at 5 and that would mean he wouldn't be there for all of it. Even worst, he wouldn't be around period. Meanwhile, Kelly and Dustin were walking back into the parking lot towards Kelly's Jeep.
"So what are you going to do now?" Dustin was a bit curious.
She took out her keys and opened the door, "Rebuild Storm Chargers. To be better then ever!" She exclaimed. Dustin hopped into the passenger seat and stuck on his seatbelt.
"Cool! I'm willing to help! So is everyone at the academy!" He replied. Kelly smiled as she turned the ignition and began to drive out of the parking lot.
"Thanks Dustin. This whole event has been crazy. I'm just glad it all turned out well." She said happily.
Dustin nodded, "Yeah. So what was with Blake? He isn't leaving is he?"
Kelly nodded, "Probably. We'll have to wait for an answer. I'll give you a ride to your academy. That is if you give me directions."
"Oh yeah, turn left here." He pointed, "You going to join us tonight?"
Kelly shrugged, "I don't think so. This is your celebration. I didn't do anything."
Dustin chuckled, "Come anyway. I'm not taking no for an answer." She smiled and nodded in agreement.
Back with Tori and Blake, they were beginning to argue over the whole problem.
"You can't leave just like that. What about us?" She asked him.
"Tori, I want to go but-"
"Is that all you care about? Is your career?" She wouldn't let him speak.
He sighed, "Please. It's not what you think." He tried to explain.
"Don't bother coming back then." She ignored what he said, and turned to walk away. Blake chased after her as she ran towards her Van.
"Tori! Wait! Would you let me finish!" He stammered. Tori looked around, and noticed that Kelly's Jeep was gone.
She sighed, "Get in. I need to pick up some food. Just drop the subject for now." At Ninja Ops, Shane, Cam and Hunter were setting up for the little party. They moved things to the corner and brought in some tables and chairs. Shane and Hunter both knelt down at the end of both sides of a table and lifted it up.
"So you going back to the Thunder Academy?' Shane asked as he and Hunter both moved the table to the center of the room.
"Yeah. I've been gone way to long." He replied, placing the table back on the ground.
"Are you sure you have to?" Cam asked, turning away from his terminal.
Hunter brushed his hand through his hair, "Yeah. Kind of. I think Sensei Amino wants to go back on vacation." He laughed, "Leann is returning tonight anyway, so I might be going with her. "
"What? Now your leaving to?" Dustin's voice came from the stairs. They all turned to see him walking down, staring at them all.
"What do you mean?" Shane asked.
"Didn't you hear? Blake is going back to Factory Blue." He informed them.
"You're pulling my leg man. He didn't tell me this." Hunter was a bit surprised.
"Well now you know." Dustin said. The day quickly past by and it was nearing 5 o'clock. Tori and Blake were driving towards Ninja Ops with a whole bunch of food they bought from the store. They were silent the whole way there. Tori parked the car and climbed out, grabbing the bags full of food.
"Tori." Blake tried to fix the problem one more time.
She stopped in front of the Wind Academy's entrance point and turned around, "If you want to leave. Leave." And she turned away, trying to cry. She stepped through the portal and walked across the courtyard, seeing the students working hard to clean the place up. Blake appeared after and saw Tori going down the Ninja Ops stairs. He started to run, to catch up to her when he heard Hunter's voice. He turned around to see his brother.
"Your going away, and you weren't going to tell your older brother?"
Blake eyed him, "You know?" He asked. Hunter nodded, crossing his arms across his chest.
Blake shrugged, "I was going to tell you, when I made a decision. I wouldn't do that to you." He reassured him.
"I know. I kind of figure you were leaving any way. Everyone kind of did." He weakly laughed.
"It's not big deal. I left before. Look, I got to go and find Tori." And left with haste towards Ninja Ops. He made it down stairs where he found Dustin, Cam, Shane and Tori setting up the food.
"Let the party began!" Shane exclaimed, turning on the music. Sense, Marah, Kapri and Leann came walking down the stairs.
Marah gasped, "Wow. Look at this place."
"Not bad. Not bad at all." Kapri smiled, grabbing for some food. Hunter came down to join them. They all waved to him. They all gathered and got their food and sat at the table. They exchanged stories and laughs, talking about the most random things. Blake glanced at his watch. The time read 5:45. He sighed, looking back up. Everyone was staring at him silently.
"What?" He asked. Tori got up and walked away to a corner. Everyone remained silent as Blake walked over to her.
"Tori. I" He tried to say.
She didn't bother to turn around, "I don't care." She whispered. Blake gave up arguing with her and turned to the others. He pulled out the envelope and placed it on the table.
"I'm going now. The past few months have been great." He told them.
"See you around man." Dustin waved to him.
"Yeah, take care." Shane added, "Come on by if your ever in the city." He nodded and started to walk towards the door, "Later Bro. Goodbye Leann. Marah, Kapri, and Kelly." He listed everyone off. He then bowed to Sensei, "Sorry I'm leaving on short notice. I hope you understand."
Sensei signal him to stand back up, "It is all right. Good bye Blake." He spoke. Blake smiled and turned and ran up the stairs. Shane grabbed the envelope and looked at it. It had Tori's name on it. He got up and tapped her shoulder and she turned around, taking the letter.
"He cares for you." He whispered as he walked away. She went outside and opened the letter. An airplane ticket fell out of it. She knelt down and picked it up. She realized that Blake wanted her to come with him. That he wasn't being selfish and leaving everything behind just to pursue his career. She gasped as she ran out of the courtyard and to her Van. She quickly drove to the airport and ran inside, making her way through the large crowd. She looked at the ticket and tried to find the plane. She quickly looked around the busy place when she noticed Blake in line for his plane.
"Blake!" She called out to him. The crimson ranger turned around to see who was call him. He saw the blonde running towards him. He dropped his suite case and went to her. She gave him a big hug.
"What are you doing here?" Blake asked, glancing at the clock. It was almost 6.
"I think I jumped to conclusion." She frowned, holding up the ticket, "I thought you were going to just leave me and everyone here."
He chuckled, "Tori. I wanted to stay, but I can't pass this up. I figure maybe you'd want to come to so you wouldn't miss me or anything. So will you?"
She thought for a sec and shook her head, "No. I can't leave this place. Not just yet.."
Blake was puzzled, "Did you come all the way here, just to tell me that?" He asked.
Tori chuckled, "Of course not! I came to tell you that I will be waiting here till you return." She smiled. Blake took a step closer and began to kiss her. She wrapped her hands around his neck and did the same.
"Last boarding for flight TW10. Again last boarding call for flight TW10. Please show your ticket at the door and have a nice day." A voice over the intercom spoke loudly.
"Guess this is it." Blake held up her hand and kissed it, "In till next time." He whispered, turning away to pick up his bag. He gave one last glance and then began to board the plane. Tori stood there for a while, watching the plane take off. She then turned and walked away, happy and sad at the same time. Meanwhile, back at Ninja Ops, the party was dying down.
Leann stood up and looked at everyone, "Thank you so much. I had a lot fun but I think it's time for Hunter and I to get going."
"Aww man." Dustin groaned, "Do you have to. It's going to be so boring without you. Especially now that Blake is gone."
Hunter laughed, "I'm not leaving forever. You know where to find me." He got up and walked Leann to the stairs.
Tori came running down, "You leaving already?"
Hunter nodded, "Yeah. Where did you run off to?" He asked.
"I said good bye to Blake." She smiled happily, "Guess I got here just in time to say good bye to you." She gave him and Leann a hug and they both walked up the stairs. Tori turned to the last remaining rangers in Ninja Ops.
"Well, I think this was the best adventure so far." Shane grinned.
"Let's hope we don't have to go through that again for a while." Dustin laughed, "Come on, let's keep partying!" He exclaimed, lifting his cup in the air, "To Victory and all that cool stuff."
Everyone else raised their cups in the air, "To Victory and all that cool stuff." They repeated.
Dustin looked at the food and saw a plate of chicken, "Oh sweet! More Chicken!" He yelled. Everyone laughed as he dived for it. They continue to party and talk through the rest of the night, happy that they now can all return to their normal lives. As normal as it can get anyway.

Vexagon shelter himself beneath his black wings, "You think this could stop me!?" He laughed.
Hunter and Blake took a step forward, "Power of Thunder!" They joined in, sending a surge of Navy and Crimson Power at Vexagon. Vexagon, continue to block the attacks. He thrusted his wings open, sending a guest of wind, knocking the rangers off their feet.
"We got to try harder! We can't let him escape." Tori shouted, getting back up.
Shane turned to his fellow Air Ninja Students, "Come on guys! Give us a hand! Were all in this together." He shouted, "Power of Air!" He said, trying one more time. This time his students did it to.
"Yeah, you heard him. Come on!" Tori shouted, "Power of Water!"
"Were right behind you Sister T." Dustin exclaimed, "Power of Earth!"

"No!" He shrieked. His whole body began to glow white, as the rangers and students continued to use all their powers. A huge explosion, and a gust of wind knocked everyone off their feet. Shane looked up as the smoke began to clear.
"Did we do it?" He asked as he got up. He walked forward to where Vexagon once stood. All that remained was a few black feathers that slowly floated back to the ground near his broad sword.

He sighed, "Please. It's not what you think." He tried to explain.
"Don't bother coming back then." She ignored what he said, and turned to walk away. Blake chased after her as she ran towards her Van.
"Tori! Wait! Would you let me finish!" He stammered. Tori looked around, and noticed that Kelly's Jeep was gone.
She sighed, "Get in. I need to pick up some food. Just drop the subject for now." At Ninja Ops, Shane, Cam and Hunter were setting up for the little party. They moved things to the corner and brought in some tables and chairs. Shane and Hunter both knelt down at the end of both sides of a table and lifted it up.
"So you going back to the Thunder Academy?' Shane asked as he and Hunter both moved the table to the center of the room.
"Yeah. I've been gone way to long." He replied, placing the table back on the ground.
"Are you sure you have to?" Cam asked, turning away from his terminal.
Hunter brushed his hand through his hair, "Yeah. Kind of. I think Sensei Amino wants to go back on vacation." He laughed, "Leann is returning tonight anyway, so I might be going with her. "
"What? Now your leaving to?" Dustin's voice came from the stairs. They all turned to see him walking down, staring at them all.
"What do you mean?" Shane asked.
"Didn't you hear? Blake is going back to Factory Blue." He informed them.
"You're pulling my leg man. He didn't tell me this." Hunter was a bit surprised.
"Well now you know." Dustin said. The day quickly past by and it was nearing 5 o'clock. Tori and Blake were driving towards Ninja Ops with a whole bunch of food they bought from the store. They were silent the whole way there. Tori parked the car and climbed out, grabbing the bags full of food.
"Tori." Blake tried to fix the problem one more time.
She stopped in front of the Wind Academy's entrance point and turned around, "If you want to leave. Leave." And she turned away, trying to cry. She stepped through the portal and walked across the courtyard, seeing the students working hard to clean the place up. Blake appeared after and saw Tori going down the Ninja Ops stairs. He started to run, to catch up to her when he heard Hunter's voice. He turned around to see his brother.
"Your going away, and you weren't going to tell your older brother?"
Blake eyed him, "You know?" He asked. Hunter nodded, crossing his arms across his chest.
Blake shrugged, "I was going to tell you, when I made a decision. I wouldn't do that to you." He reassured him.
"I know. I kind of figure you were leaving any way. Everyone kind of did." He weakly laughed.
"It's not big deal. I left before. Look, I got to go and find Tori." And left with haste towards Ninja Ops. He made it down stairs where he found Dustin, Cam, Shane and Tori setting up the food.
"Let the party began!" Shane exclaimed, turning on the music. Sense, Marah, Kapri and Leann came walking down the stairs.
Marah gasped, "Wow. Look at this place."
"Not bad. Not bad at all." Kapri smiled, grabbing for some food. Hunter came down to join them. They all waved to him. They all gathered and got their food and sat at the table. They exchanged stories and laughs, talking about the most random things. Blake glanced at his watch. The time read 5:45. He sighed, looking back up. Everyone was staring at him silently.
"What?" He asked. Tori got up and walked away to a corner. Everyone remained silent as Blake walked over to her.
"Tori. I" He tried to say.
She didn't bother to turn around, "I don't care." She whispered. Blake gave up arguing with her and turned to the others. He pulled out the envelope and placed it on the table.
"I'm going now. The past few months have been great." He told them.
"See you around man." Dustin waved to him.
"Yeah, take care." Shane added, "Come on by if your ever in the city." He nodded and started to walk towards the door, "Later Bro. Goodbye Leann. Marah, Kapri, and Kelly." He listed everyone off. He then bowed to Sensei, "Sorry I'm leaving on short notice. I hope you understand."
Sensei signal him to stand back up, "It is all right. Good bye Blake." He spoke. Blake smiled and turned and ran up the stairs. Shane grabbed the envelope and looked at it. It had Tori's name on it. He got up and tapped her shoulder and she turned around, taking the letter.
"He cares for you." He whispered as he walked away. She went outside and opened the letter. An airplane ticket fell out of it. She knelt down and picked it up. She realized that Blake wanted her to come with him. That he wasn't being selfish and leaving everything behind just to pursue his career. She gasped as she ran out of the courtyard and to her Van. She quickly drove to the airport and ran inside, making her way through the large crowd. She looked at the ticket and tried to find the plane. She quickly looked around the busy place when she noticed Blake in line for his plane.
"Blake!" She called out to him. The crimson ranger turned around to see who was call him. He saw the blonde running towards him. He dropped his suite case and went to her. She gave him a big hug.
"What are you doing here?" Blake asked, glancing at the clock. It was almost 6.
"I think I jumped to conclusion." She frowned, holding up the ticket, "I thought you were going to just leave me and everyone here."
He chuckled, "Tori. I wanted to stay, but I can't pass this up. I figure maybe you'd want to come to so you wouldn't miss me or anything. So will you?"
She thought for a sec and shook her head, "No. I can't leave this place. Not just yet.."
Blake was puzzled, "Did you come all the way here, just to tell me that?" He asked.
Tori chuckled, "Of course not! I came to tell you that I will be waiting here till you return." She smiled. Blake took a step closer and began to kiss her. She wrapped her hands around his neck and did the same.
"Last boarding for flight TW10. Again last boarding call for flight TW10. Please show your ticket at the door and have a nice day." A voice over the intercom spoke loudly.
"Guess this is it." Blake held up her hand and kissed it, "In till next time." He whispered, turning away to pick up his bag. He gave one last glance and then began to board the plane. Tori stood there for a while, watching the plane take off. She then turned and walked away, happy and sad at the same time. Meanwhile, back at Ninja Ops, the party was dying down.
Leann stood up and looked at everyone, "Thank you so much. I had a lot fun but I think it's time for Hunter and I to get going."
"Aww man." Dustin groaned, "Do you have to. It's going to be so boring without you. Especially now that Blake is gone."
Hunter laughed, "I'm not leaving forever. You know where to find me." He got up and walked Leann to the stairs.
Tori came running down, "You leaving already?"
Hunter nodded, "Yeah. Where did you run off to?" He asked.
"I said good bye to Blake." She smiled happily, "Guess I got here just in time to say good bye to you." She gave him and Leann a hug and they both walked up the stairs. Tori turned to the last remaining rangers in Ninja Ops.
"Well, I think this was the best adventure so far." Shane grinned.
"Let's hope we don't have to go through that again for a while." Dustin laughed, "Come on, let's keep partying!" He exclaimed, lifting his cup in the air, "To Victory and all that cool stuff."
Everyone else raised their cups in the air, "To Victory and all that cool stuff." They repeated.
Dustin looked at the food and saw a plate of chicken, "Oh sweet! More Chicken!" He yelled. Everyone laughed as he dived for it. They continue to party and talk through the rest of the night, happy that they now can all return to their normal lives. As normal as it can get anyway.
