Chapter 7

Wind Versus Thunder

Shane, Dustin, Cam and Tori both quickly ran over to Hunter, laughing and cheering over their victory. They have never been so thrilled too win a match.

Hunter turned to them and smiled, "Great job guys." He said to them, "Now we can put our plan in motion."

"Those Thunder dudes are going down man." Dustin said cheerfully, giving Shane a high five. Kelly, Michelle and Marah both walked down the stairs and greeted them.

"You guys were great!" Marah exclaimed, giving Dustin a hug.

Kelly nodded, "Since when did you guys know all these kinds of moves?"

Cam shrugged, "Oh I don't know. Guess these moves come natural." He joked.

Kelly gave him a playful punch, "Well I'm going to get some food. Come on Michelle and Marah. Let the boys prepare for the next match."

"You will win next time Shane." Michelle reassured him as she followed Kelly and Marah.

"Boy, is it hot in here. I'm going to take a walk." Tori told them and walked off.

"What's with her?" Shane asked.

"What do you think?" Hunter asked, "She's still worried about Blake."

Shane nodded, "Oh yeah. Any news on the fourth person were up against?" He curiously asked.

"I saw someone in a cloak figure. Might be a guy, might be a girl. I couldn't tell." He responded.

"Either way, their going down!" Dustin yelled. While they were talking, Cam had sneaked off to find Tori. She was walking around the parking lot, back and forth.

Cam appeared in front of her, "You all right?"

She turned and smiled, "Yeah. I'll be fine." Tori sat down on the sidewalk, and wave Cam to sit next to her. He did so swiftly, and turned and smiled at her.

"You did great." Tori pointed out.

Cam chuckled, "You're the one who took out like three of them." He pointed out. Tori started to laugh a bit. The wind was blowing gently, as they watched a few cars on the road pass by.

Cam spoke up again, "Tori. About what happen at the dance."

She turned and looked at him, "Are you still mad?" She asked.

He shook his head, "I'm not mad. Okay, I was a bit." He admitted, "Only because I like-.." He trailed off.

Tori stood up, "Cam.. I, you know.." She tried to find the right words.

Cam stood up also, "Don't worry. I understand." He said.

"Were friends." She told him.

He nodded his head, "Come on. Let's go inside. We got like 7 minutes before the match start." Tori nodded and they both went into the building. They greeted the rest of the rangers which were viewing a map of the building.

Hunter pointed at the map, "I'm thinking this is the Thunder Team's Locker Room and resting area. I'm going to check this out."

"I noticed a security guy standing in front of the door." Dustin pointed out, "Something must be in there."

"Then I will check that out." He told him.

"Be careful Hunter." Tori said.

He nodded, "You too guys. They might not play by tournament rules."

"Then we will follow theirs." Shane reponded.

The announcers's voice began echoing through out the room, "Ladies and Gentlemen. May I have the Team Wind Shadow and Thunder Warriors out on the mat! The next match will began soon."

"That's our cue." Shane pointed out.

"Good luck guys. Don't hold back." Hunter told them. They all nodded and entered onto the mat. Hunter sighed and turned to walk out of the arena. Michelle, Kelly and Marah were all cheering at the bleachers again. The match was about to start. Hunter went out into the lobby and looked around. He spotted Kain, Katana, Jade and the cloak guy entering the arena. They walked up onto the mat and faced the rangers. The cloak person, was still hooded as the announcer walked up to him.

"I'm sorry sir. You have to take that off." He asked him. The cloak man grabbed the announcer's arm and threw him across the mat. The crowd stood their silent and shocked.

Kain stepped forward and grinned, "Let the match began."

"That was an illegal move." Dustin protested, "You don't attack innocent people."

"No one is innocent in this world." Katana laughed. Some people were checking if the announcer was okay. The judges rang the bell and the match had begun.

"There letting this continue?" Tori asked.

"The Thunder morons sponsored it. Of course the judge will let this continue."

"Let's break their legs." Dustin laughed as he charged forward. He ran and jumped at Kain who quickly dodged the attack. Cam was facing off with Jade, while Shane took on Katana, leaving Tori with the hooded guy.

"Why don't you show yourself freak." Tori told him. The man did not say anything but charged forward. She ducked to dodge a punch and tried to trip him, but he manages to jump over it. Tori quickly back flipped out of the way, as he tried to pull a roundhouse kick on her. She twirled around fast, and jumped over him and kicked him in the back. She tried to throw another kick, but he caught it in midair and pushed her on the ground. Kain was throwing a million of punches at Dustin. The Yellow Wind Ranger blocked each of them and grabbed Kain by the arm. He tried to flip him over, but Kain slammed his knee into Dustin's stomach, freeing him. He then spun around and slammed Dustin again, with his foot. Dustin fell to the ground.

"Damn man." Dustin groaned as he tried to get up. Kain went over and pushed him back down. Cam spotted this and broke away from his fight, and shoulder slammed Kain out of the way.

"You're not done yet." Cam told him. He helped Dustin up and stood beside him. Jade flipped over the two and stood next to Kain.

"And I'm not done with you." She smirked. Meanwhile, Hunter had sneaked down the hallway towards the door where the security guy was standing.

The security guy spotted him, "Hey you, you're not authorized to enter." He told him. Hunter walked forward, ignoring him. Attempting to open the door. The security guy grabbed his hand and pushed him back.

"What did I tell you?" He said. Hunter lunged forward and slammed his knee into his stomach, knocking him out.

"Sorry man, I don't have a choice." He responded and entered. The room was dark, as he closed the door. He could hear small muffles coming somewhere in the room.

"Kayla?" Hunter spoke into the darkness. He heard the muffling getting louder. Searching frantically for the switch, he finally found it in a corner. He turned it on and the whole room lit up. There was Kayla, tied to a chair and blindfolded. Hunter quickly went to her, and untied her, pulling the bandana off her.

"Oh my god! Hunter!?" She screamed. Hunter tied the last of the ropes and she lunged forward hugging him.

"Are you all right?" He asked, giving a hug back.

She broke away, "Where are the others!? It's a trap Hunter!" She quickly said.

"What do you mean!?" He asked.

"They were talking about how you guys were ninjas and all that junk and I didn't' want to believe them but then-but then he showed up." She explained.

"Who Kayla? Who!?" He asked as he stood up.

"No time!" She yelled as she stood up also. She ran to the door and tried to open it but it was lock. She struggled hard.

"What's the matter?" Hunter asked.

"I can't open the door!" She responded. Hunter started to hear whistling sounds and looked up at the vents. Gas was seeping through the room. He quickly ran to the door.

"Dammit. They weren't kidding about getting rid of us." He said as he struggled.

"Hurry!" Kayla screamed. She began to cough as the gas filled the room. She could feel her body getting weaker and weaker. Hunter was doing the best he could. Even he was getting weaker. He stumbled back, holding his hand against his mouth, hoping to stop breathing in the gas.

"What..what..do we do.." She struggle to say, as she tried to stay awake.

"Don't freak out about this." He told her and raised his arm. He fired a blast of crimson lighting at the door, smashing it open. He quickly grabbed Kayla and ran out the door, slamming into the wall and collapsing. The gas had stopped seeping through the vents and Hunter and Kayla laid out in the hall way trying to catch a breath of fresh air.

"Was that the trap?" Hunter asked between his breaths.

Kayla was laying on top of him, "No." She responded as she sat up, "It's the match. We have to get to it." Meanwhile, the fight still raged on between the Wind and Thunder Team. Kain had thrusted his arm forward at Dustin who quickly dodged the attack. Cam jumped in and knocked him back, only to be hit by Jade. Jade then roundhouse Dustin to the ground.

"There strong!" Cam pointed out. Shane wasn't having much luck either. Katana was fast and agile. Shane jumped in the air to get away from her, but she jumped up and kicked him back down. Shane rolled on the ground and got up to block a kick that was coming at him. He thrusted upwards and knocked Katana off her feet. She quickly flipped back up and brushed the hair out of her way and lunged at Shane again.

"Whoa there. Calm down." Shane said.

"Die!" She screeched as she punched him in the face. Shane went down to the ground hard. Michelle was bitting her nails, too afraid to see what will happen next.

"This looks like a tough battle." Marah spoke, leaning in to watch carefully.

"There good." Kelly pointed out, "But they still should be disqualified."

"Yeah! They attacked the announcer." Michelle said.

"Shh!" Marah told them, "It's getting good." Back with Hunter and Kayla, after a bit of resting they both go up and ran down the long hall way. That security guy that Hunter knocked out was back again. This time, with a few friends.

"That's the guy!" The officer yelled.

"Stay back Kayla." He told her. She nodded and took a step back as Hunter walked over to them.

"Look guys, I don't have time for this." He told them.

"Neither do we." One of the officers said and lunged at him. Hunter blocked the punch and flipped him over. He turned around and kicked another officer back.

"Look behind you!" Kayla shouted. Hunter quickly turned around and a chair being thrown at him. Hunter jumped up and kicked it away and ran and knocked the guy down. Kayla jumped up and down in joy as the guys all groaned in pain.

"You'd think they would learn." Hunter said. He grabbed Kayla and both ran into the arena, making their way through the crowd. They went to the front where they found Tori kicking back the hooded guy. The Thunder students all regrouped and stood together as the wind rangers regrouped also.

"Not bad." Kain smirked, "Not bad all."

"Were not done." Shane yelled out.

"Of course we are." The hooded man spoke up for once, "The end is near for you. It is time to say goodbye." He said as he took a step forward.

"That voice..." Tori whispered. The man took of his hood, the wind ranger's jaw's dropped. Even Hunter gasped. Kelly and Marah stood up from the bleachers.

"Blake!?" Tori screamed. Blake removed his cloaked, revealing his Ninja Outfit. He slide his hand through his hair and winked at Tori.

"So nice to see you Tor." He spoke up.

"What are you doing!?" She asked.

"Enough talking! I want them gone!" Kain yelled.

Blake chuckled, "Allow me." He replied as he raised his arm. He shot a bolt of navy lighting right at Dustin, hitting him right in the gut.

"Ugh!" Dustin groaned, as the attack hit him. Blake lowered his arm, as Dustin began to stumble around.

"DUSTIN!!" Kayla screamed at the top of her lungs. Dustin slowly turned around to see her, before falling to the ground motionless. Katana and Jade began firing lighting shots across the room. The crowd began to scream and scatter out of the room. Marah ran down the steps as fast as she could, tears in her eyes.

"Please no..Dustin..Please oh god no." She kept saying to herself, as she pushed her way through the crowd.
