Episode 6

Angels Versus Ninjas

Hunter awoke from the sound of his alarm clock. He rolled over in his bed, groaning, trying to block the sound out. He lifted his head up to check the time. It read 1030 am. He sighed deeply and got up and headed towards his dresser to find himself a new shirt and pants to wear for the day. Minutes later, he opened the door of his room to find his roommate sitting at the kitchen table, eating a bowl of cereal.

"What? No loud music this morning?" Hunter asked him, as he made his way over to him.

Dustin shrugged, taking another spoonful of cereal to his mouth, "Tournament starts at 12." He spoke between each crunch.

Hunter nodded, "And Kayla will be found, along with Blake." He reassured his doubting friend, "We meeting the others at Storm Chargers?"

Dustin stood up from his chair and went to the counter and placed the bowl in the sink, "Yup. Then we can work out a plan there." He responded. Hunter ran into the living room to search for his keys. He found them on the table and grabbed them, heading towards the door.

"Let's go then." He said as he opened it. Dustin followed and they both got into Hunter's car. Hunter's favorite crimson vehicle still had a hole in the side from the attacks of the those trouble makers but he managed to get the car still running. The only thing he had to deal with was the clanking sound. Sometimes he'd wonder how the heck his car can take all this beating and still run. After Dustin stuck on his seat belt, he watched as Hunter turned the engine on and backed out of the drive way. Hunter slammed on the pedal and they both sped off to Storm Chargers. They finally made it, where they spotted Tori's van in the front. Hunter pulled up next to it and they both got out, looking around. Dustin walked ahead and towards the store, opening the door and entering. Before heading in also, the crimson blonde took one last surveillance around the place, hoping maybe Kayla or Blake would just show up out of no where. He shook his head and entered into the store where Cam, Shane, Tori and Dustin were standing around in a little circle.

"Where's Kelly?" Hunter asked.

Dustin turned to him, " The store doesn't open today, so she's getting ready to watch the tournament. She doesn't believe we know martial arts, so she has to check it out herself." He said.

Shane punched him in the arm, "That reminds me, you told Michelle I was participating?"

He glared at Shane, "Yeah, so?"

"I didn't want her to watch. This could get messy." He explained.

"I'm sure we can do this without causing to much problems." Tori reassured them.

Cam stepped forward, and everyone turned to him, "Okay, I can count. And there is 4 us competing in this match, but didn't you tell me that there was three thunder students? Who's the fourth?"

Hunter thought for a sec, "You right. You need 4 fighters."

Tori shrugged, "I'm sure its just another stuck up girl, following that know it all guy Kain."

"It doesn't matter. There going down." Dustin responded, throwing some few fake punches at Hunter for practice.

"Let's get this over with, while there distracted, I'll go into the backroom and find Kayla, I'll let you know if I need any help." Hunter told them. They each all nodded and exited out the door. Shane and Cam hoped into Tori's van while Dustin went with Hunter in his car. Tori stuck her seatbelt on and waited for Hunter to pull out. She watched the crimson car entered onto the street before she began backing away. Her mind was wondering, still a bit worried. Cam was sitting in the passenger seat, watching her, telling that something was up.

"You all right?" He asked her. Tori stepped on the pedal and sped forward, following the half beaten car, "Tori." Cam spoke up again.

Tori snapped back to reality, "Um what?" She asked The red ranger was sitting in the back watching them two. He stuck his hands on Tori's back seat and leaned closer.

"What's with you girl?" He basically reworded Cam's question.

She sighed deeply as she made a turn on a road, "I'm still worried about Blake." She admitted.

"We should focus on the matter at hands. We can't risk messing this up." Cam explained. Tori nodded slightly, thinking that maybe Cam was right. They drove for about 15 minutes half way across the city to a large grey building. People were flooding in from everywhere. The parking lots were jammed with cars and people were entering and exiting the buildings. Tori found a nice parking spot near the front and pulled in. She exited the van to see Dustin and Hunter walking towards them.

"Where did you park?" Tori asked as she closed the door.

Dustin pointed to the large parking lot nearby, "All the way at the end!" He exclaimed.

Hunter shrugged, "Guess we weren't as lucky as you." He joked. Tori gave a small smiled as they all entered into the building. They appeared in what seams to be a lobby. It was packed with people, chatting and buying tickets. There were a few martial artists practicing. Trying to intimidate anyone that walks by. They walked down the hall, towards the room where participants were to go before the matched. A woman was sitting at a table inside, jotting things down on a clipboard. The group went up to her as she lifted her head to stare at them.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

"Uh Yes," Hunter spoke up, "These guys are here for the match."

She eyed him carefully, glancing at the others, "Have they been registered?"

Hunter nodded, "Yes, I signed these guys up a few days ago."

She pulled out a piece of paper under her clipboard and handed it to him, "Please sign your name here, claiming that any injuries during the match will not be blamed on the company and/or sponsorship of this tournament." She explained. Hunter grabbed the paper and signed it quickly handing it back to her. She stuck the paper in a folder and pulled out another piece of paper, "Please give me your names so they could be announced." She asked, not looking up from her paper.

"Tori Hanson." The surfing blonde spoke up first.

"Shane Clarke." The former red ranger responded next.

"Cam Watanabe." The samurai warrior followed.

"Dustin Brooks." He said lastly. The women wrote each name down quickly and stuck that in a folder also.

"Please enter the door on the left and get ready. Tori, you may use the women's locker room that is down the hall. The match will begin in 15 minutes." She said.

"Who is this sponsored by?" Hunter asked.

"The Thunder Warriors Team. They are the one who donated the fund." She responded.

"Who we going up against?" Dustin asked.

She scanned her schedule, "Team Angel Grove." She said and went back to her work. Tori waved to them and exited down to find the ladies locker room. All the guys but Hunter entered the boys locker room which was empty, for the competitor were all out getting ready.

"Dude, what we doing here?" Dustin asked.

"We have to change." Shane said.

"That's easy." Dustin responded and threw off his clothes, revealing his black ninja outfit, "That's an advantage of being a ninja." The rest quickly did the same and exited out of the room. They entered the large arena where a huge blue mat was stationed in the middle. Rows and rows of bleachers, filled with people who were all waiting eagerly for a match to start soon. The gang walked by many of the participants who were giving them a strange look. Majority of the competitors were wearing white karate robes and had never seen outfits like theirs.

"Maybe we shouldn't have used these outfits." Dustin whispered, trying to ignore the stares.

"Ah, don't worry about man. As long as we keep our powers on the low down, were just another average person here, testing strength, in weird clothing." Cam whispered back. They moved through the crowd where they greeted Hunter and Tori. Tori was wearing her ninja outfit also, as she brushed her hair into a pony tail, then she waved.

"Be careful guys, your first match is going to be pretty tough." Hunter told them.

"Team Angel Grove. What's so special about them?" Shane asked.

"Angel Grove's martial artists have won 5 straight tournaments in a row a few years ago. They're good, trust me. You can't lose this match though. Your next one is vs. the Thunder Warriors. Which I'm guessing is Kain and his group."

Shane raised an eyebrow, "What's our name?" He asked curiously.

Hunter stifled a laugh, "You're are now called the Wind Breakers." He started to laugh. Dustin's face faulted as he heard him say it.

"What kind of name is that?" He asked, not really getting the joke. Suddenly an announcement was heard loudly throughout the room.

"Attention all participants, judges and fans, we are now about to start. May Team Angel and the Wind Breakers please come out onto the match to begin the tournament." A deep announcer spoke.

"Go break some wind." Hunter started to laugh again. Shane and Cam rolled their eyes as they headed towards the mat, with Dustin following.

Tori punched Hunter's arm lightly, "Your so going to get a beating when this tournament is done. Giving us a name like that." She smiled

"I was joking." He told her truthfully.

"Oh." She raised an eyebrow, "Then what is the name?"

"You'll find out." He responded. She nodded as she scurried onto the match with them. They all lined up as a man walked out onto a match.

He pulled out a microphone, his voice was loud and clear throughout the stadium, "Where is Team Angel?" He asked the judges. Suddenly, 4 males walked out onto the mat, all wearing karate robes, held on by black belts. The wind rangers looked, not really recognizing their faces. There stood in front of them, were 4 of the greatest rangers ever and the wind rangers didn't even know it.

"Ah there you guys are!" The announcer spoke happily, then turned to the crowd, "Are you guys ready for a wonderful time!?" The crowd cheered furiously as he spoke. Kelly, Michelle, Kapri and Marah both had middle row seats, cheering along, calling out their names.

"In this corner, we have our returning champs, Team Angel from Angel Grove!" The announcer began, "Starting from the left, we have Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park, Jason Scott, and the newest member who had replace their good friend Tommy Oliver, Zack Taylor! Give a round of applause!" The crowd went wild as the 4 of them stood their, staring at the wind rangers.

The announcer spoke up again, "And in this corner, I'm sorry, there was a mix up. Not the Wind Breakers but Team Wind Shadow."

Dustin looked around, "Is he talking about us?"

"Thought are name was." Shane started to say.

"No he was joking." Tori informed them.

"Starting from our left." The announcers continue to speak, "We have Cam Watanabe, Shane Clarke, Dustin Brooks, and lastly, beautiful Tori Hanson." He said. Tori bit her lips, blushing as the crowd cheered.

"Go Shane!!" Michelle screamed as she hollered along with the other thousands of people. Hunter stood on the side line, smiling. He looked over and saw Kain and his two girls walking into the room, staring out on the mat. Hunter's smile faded as Kain walked over to him.

"So, you decided to show." He spoke.

Hunter nodded, "Yeah, I had to make sure you pay for my car."

Kain smiled evilly, "I bet." He responded, "Your not competing?"

He shook his head, "This is between you and the wind students. We can settle our differences later." Hunter quickly lied.

Katana smiled, "Perfect. They don't stand a chance." She turned and smiled as she watch as the participants got into a fighting stance.

Zack started to hope around, using his favorite style of fighting, "Come on, let's see what you guys got." He said confidentially.

"I don't know Zack, might be a competition." Rocky joked.

Shane pointed a finger at him, "We'll show you competition." Shane sneered at him. The bell rang and the wind and angel teams all clashed into each other. Shane jumped at Jason who quickly dodged the attack. Jase was about to land a roundhouse kick to Shane's back but Shane managed to flip backwards and over him.

"Whoa." Jase said in surprised.

"What, never seen a flying ninja?" Shane joked. Jase chuckled a bit, and started to throw more roundhouse kicks at Shane. The red ninja ranger did the best he could do duck and block each attack. Shane quickly caught one of Jase's foot and pushed him back. Shane then quickly jumped in the air and dropped kick Jason, who stumbled back by the blow. They then began to attack and block each other, trying to push each other off the mat. Shane ducked from a punch and thrusted a fist into Jason's stomach.

"Your good man." Jason said as he took a step back, "Not good enough though." He said as he caught Shane's leg and twisted it, making Shane's whole body twisting in the air and back onto ground. Shane tried to get back up, but Jason stepped on him, preventing him to get up.

"You lose." Jason said.

"Shane is down! Shane is down!" The announcer yelled out.

"Oh man.." Michelle pouted, as she sat back down on the bench.

Kelly shook her head, a bit shocked, "They told me they were going to compete in some martial arts competition but they never told me they were actually good at fighting. In fact, they never told me they knew martial arts at all!" She exclaimed.

"Cool huh?" Marah asked.

"Yeah." Kelly responded as they continue to watch the rest of the fight.

Rocky circled Tori a bit, keeping a defensive stance, "I don't want to hurt you." He said to her. Tori rolled her eyes as she walked forward towards him. Rocky threw a punch and she caught it in mid air and flipped him over.

"You were saying?" She looked down at him. The old blue zeo ranger quickly got back up and brushed himself off.

"Okay, so you can fight." Rocky said and got back into a fighting position. Tori shrugged, rolling her eyes.

"Boys, do they ever learn?" She spoke out loud to herself. Rocky moved forward, attempting to throw another punch. Tori tried to catch it again, but Rocky, quickly withdraw the punch, spun around kicked her in the back. Tori stumbled forward, shocked by the trick he pulled on her. Rocky tried to grabbed Tori but she ducked and tripped him, making him fall on the floor. Tori was going to slam her leg on Rocky, but he manage to roll out of the way and get back up. Tori swiftly spun around, gracefully as if she was on water, spinning herself faster and faster. Rocky stood their confused, wondering why she kept going in circles. Tori quickly spun faster and faster, then sticking out a leg, slamming it right into Rocky, making him go flying off the mat. Tori stopped spinning, her pony tail coming undone, and her blonde hair wrapping her face. She quickly brushed the hair aside and walked over to Rocky who was groaning on the ground.

"Hurts doesn't it?" She smiled.

"What is this!? Rocky down for the count!? Looks like we are left with 3 fighters on each team now. The battle is heating up!" The announcer continued to talk.

"Go Tori!" Hunter whispered to himself as he watched carefully. Tori turned around to see Jason standing there. She looked over to see how the others were doing. Dustin was quickly dodging Zack's attacks that kept coming one after another with fast speed. Dustin ducked quickly and tried to leg sweep him but Zack jumped out of the way and started to hop around again.

"Do you ever sit still?" Dustin asked as he charged forward. Zack put his hands on the ground and began to twist his body, break dancing, and hitting Dustin with his foot, sending him flying back.

Dustin landed with a huge thump, "Aw man.. That hurt.." He groaned. Jason was about to land a finishing blow on Dustin when Tori pushed him out of the way.

"I don't think so." Tori barked at him. She pulled Dustin up and they both faced Jason and Zack who exchanged looks.

"Ready Tor?" Dustin asked.

"Ready!" She responded and they both ran forward. Zack and Jason were both ready to take on the attack but instead, Tori and Dustin flipped over them and kicked them in the back. Jason quickly turned around to punch Dustin who ducked, letting Tori jump on his back and kick Jason straight in the stomach, sending him to the ground. Tori landed safely on the ground but then was knocked off her feet by a surprised attack by Zack. Dustin moved in, to help Tori back up and they both spun around the break dancer, hitting him in the leg, and making him lose balance. Zack fell to the floor, exhausted. Tori and Dustin's swift teamwork put the two of them out. Meanwhile Cam lunged forward at Adam, who manage to swiftly move out of the way. Cam stumbled forward and turned around to see a kick come right at him. With his fast reflex, Cam caught his foot and held it. Adam squirmed a bit and then flipped, using his other foot to hit Cam in the face and land back on his feet. Tori and Dustin both stepped in front of Cam and stared down Adam.

"Guess I'm the last one." Adam said.

"Yup!" Dustin responded, "And you are going down man!" Dustin said as he charged forward. Tori helped Cam up and they both charged forward also. Adam jumped up and kicked Dustin back and then jumped kicked off of Tori and into Cam, sending all three on the ground. The three of them stood up, underestimating Adam. Adam ran at Tori, who tried to punch at him, but he caught and flipped her over. He wasn't done yet with her though, he helped her back up and pushed her into Dustin and Cam.

"He's getting on my nerves." Cam said angrily. Tori and Dustin both charged at Adam once more, and kicked him. He blocked both attacks, and Tori and Dustin broke away, revealing a third attack by Cam, which was a powerful kick, sending him off the mat. The crowd grew wild as only one team remained standing.

"We have a winner! We have a winner!" The announcer yelled as he pulled the three of them into the middle. Shane stumbled to get up and joined them.

"Ugh man, guess I wasn't so lucky." Shane joked.

"It's a team match. We all advance." Cam reassured him.

"All right we won!!" Dustin said cheerfully.

"Team Wind Shadows has beaten the champs in the first round. This will go down in history! As the greatest fight ever!" He screamed. The other participants, eyes widen, and jaws dropped at the match they just saw. Never had they seen such action or fighting. They had trained for years and they still couldn't pull off what they saw. Never in a million years. Even the announcer and judges were impressed. They couldn't explain the fast speed and reflexes. It was a kind of fight you would only see in a movie. The crowds were going wild. The only people that weren't shocked were the three thunder students who were watching closely. Jason, Rocky, Adam and Zack all got up and shook the wind ranger's hand.

"Not bad. I'm impressed." Jason said.

"Yeah, you guys were tough. Didn't think we would find competition like this." Rocky agreed.

"Got to teach me some moves next time." Zack added.

"Good luck on the rest of your match." Adam said, shaking the last wind ranger. They all turned and headed off the mat and out of the arena.

The announcer pulled the microphone away from his mouth and spoke to them, "Great match guys. Never seen anything like it. You get a half hour break then were going onto the next match" He told them and walked off.

Hunter smiled happily. 'Now for the real thing to start' He said to himself. He glanced over to the thunder punks who were chatting. He continues to watch as a figure in a black cloak, with a hood over his head, covering the face, walking out to greet the troublemakers. Hunter couldn't get what they were saying or even if it was a guy or a girl, and the strange person turned and exited out of the arena again with Kain, Katana and Jade following behind.

Hunter was confused, "Who the..."
