Chapter 9

Where is the Love Part 1 (Season Finale)

Hunter manage to grab the ledge as he fell and started to hang. He looked down at the floor. It was sure a long way down. He wouldn't have enough time to Ninja Streak before hitting the ground. He felt his hand slipping, losing a grip in each finger, one by one.

"No. Come on Hunter. Don't let go." He said to himself. He couldn't pull himself up and lost grip. Suddenly a hand grabbed him before he fell. Hunter looked up and saw Blake, trying to pull him up.

"Come on, your not finished yet." Blake said to his brother. With all his strength, Blake pulled Hunter back up onto the ledge.

"Thanks." Hunter said in relief. He stood up and turned to see Kain standing there.

"Be careful bro." Hunter patted him on the back.

Hunter nodded, "No worries." He said as he ran forward across the beam. Kain took a step forward and tried to throw a punch at him. Hunter ducked and try to kick him in the leg, but Kain jumped back, nearly losing his balance.

"Stop this. This is so pointless." Hunter told him, "Your just endangering people's lives."

Kain chuckled, "So?" He responded as he try to throw another punch. Hunter intercepted his punch and pushed him back. Kain's foot slipped and he began to lose balance again.

"Kain!" Hunter shouted. Kain tried to grab onto something but with no avail. He began to fall. Hunter lunged his hand forward to grab a hold of him, but he missed and he watched as Kain fell and landed on the mat, unconscious.

"Damn." Hunter whispered to himself. He turned his head and looked at Blake.

"There's nothing you can do about it." He shouted to the crimson ranger. The storm above them began to weaken. The sun began to break the clouds apart and the light shined through on to the arena. Hunter and Blake ninja streaked onto the ground and ran over to Kain.

Hunter knelt down, "He'll be all right. Just be out for a while." He said. Shane, Kayla, Tori, Dustin and the rest of them came walking back into the building. Kayla ran through the crowd and jumped into Hunter's arm.

"I'm so glad your okay." She whispered to him.

"I told you not to worry." He responded. Jade and Katana began to awake. They sat up and looked around. They noticed Kain was out cold. They stood up and walked towards the rangers.

"What have you done?" Jade gasped.

Hunter stood up and face them, "He fell. He fell because he decided to do something stupid."

Katana and Jade both glanced at each other, "You will pay." Katana hissed.

Blake stepped forward, "No. Were not wasting our time. Go back to the academy now." He barked at them.

Jade looked away, "It is too late. We can't go back." She responded.

Hunter shook his head, "No it's not. Were willing to accept you again. Just end this nonsense."

Jade looked at Katana, "Think we should?"

Katana thought for a sec then gave a slight nod, "I guess we have no choice." She replied. They both turned around and walked away. A giant lighting bold came down at them and a flash of light appeared. As the smoke cleared, Jade and Katana were gone. Marah held Dustin's hand as they walked to the door.

"I'm talking Marah home." He informed them, "I'm sure you guys can handle this."

Cam nodded, "Yeah. You guys go. I'll take care of Kain here. Then bring him to the Thunder Academy for you."

"Are you sure?" Hunter asked. Kayla pulled Hunter away before Cam got a chance to responded.

"Come on you dork. I want to go Moto Crossing."

Hunter chuckled, "All right, all right." He said as he ran out the door with her. Tori and Blake glanced at each other then at Cam.

"Go you two." Cam told them and then turned his back on them. Tori sighed and they walked out the door.

"I'm going to take Michelle and Kelly home. I got some explaining to do." Shane said lastly before escorting the two girls out. Cam turned and picked Kain up, slumping him over his back and then Ninja Streaking a way. Dustin and Marah were walking down the street, heading towards the academy. They remained silent most of the way, enjoying the warm weather. They entered the woods and went down a long narrow path.

"I'm glad, that's all over with." Marah finally spoke up.

"Yeah." Dustin agreed.

Marah spun around, "If anything had happen to you, I'd be so upset."

Dustin smiled, "I'm fine Marah. I'm a big boy."

"I know! I just got freaked out." She admitted.

Dustin stifled a laugh. Marah turned around and playfully smack him on the shoulder.

"That's not funny!" She exclaimed.

"I know. Its just so weird how you were once evil, know you care about me so much." He admitted.

Marah stuck her hands on her hips, "Damn right. Now I'll give you to the count of three to run before I blast you. No one laughs at the great Marah!" Dustin started to burst out laughing, "1..2.." Marah began counting, charging up a blast in her hand. Dustin eyes widen as he began to run into the woods. Marah started laughing, as she chased him through the woods. Dustin flipped over a fallen tree trunk and kept running further into the woods. He stopped dead in his track as he ran towards an edge of a hill. He turned around and saw Marah still running at him.

"No! Wait!" Dustin shouted. It was too late, Marah jumped into Dustin's arm and they both toppled down the hill, tossing and turning. Marah and Dustin held onto each other tightly as they landed on the bottom. Dustin opened his eyes and found Marah on top of him, holding him tightly. Like a frighten kitten.

"Marah, you all right" He whispered.

Marah opened her eyes and looked down at Dustin, she rolled off and stood up, "What a fall." She said as she helped him up.

Dustin brushed himself off and nodded, "Yeah it was." He replied. He looked at Marah in the eyes.

"I'm not done with you yet." She grinned. Dustin eyes widen and he started to run again, with Marah after her. Meanwhile Kelly, Shane and Michelle were driving towards Storm Chargers. Kelly hadn't brought up the topic that she just witness but knew that Shane would tell her someday. She was a patient person, she knew there was an explanation to the strange phenomenon. She pulled into the parking lot of the store and climbed out. She then turned to Shane and Michelle.

"I'll explain everything in due time Kelly." Shane spoke up to him, "Till then, keep this on a low down."

Kelly nodded, "Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. You escorting Michelle home?"

Shane glanced at her and then back at Kelly, "Yeah. Talk later." He said as he grabbed Michelle's hand and began walking down the street.

"Shane, why didn't you tell me?" She asked as they both crossed the street to take a shortcut through the all way.

"Tell you what? That I'm a skilled wind ninja?" He asked.

Michelle climbed over the fence and into the ally way and turned around, "Yeah that."

Shane chuckled, "Cause I didn't want to freak you out."

Michelle giggled, "Shane, I like you for who you are. It doesn't matter if your some super ninja. All the best." She told him honestly.

Shane smiled, "Thanks." He responded. They walked for a bit in till they stopped in front of Michelle's house. She turned and grabbed Shane's hand, looking in his eyes.

"I'm glad things turned out well." She told him.

"Yeah, sorry for everything that has happened."

She shook her head, "Its all right. Lets just hope the next time you fight, there is less lighting bolts." Shane moved closer and gave her a small kiss on the lips. Michelle broke away and turned to head into her house. She glanced back and waved before entering her home. Shane sighed and walked back to Storm Chargers. Tori and Blake were sitting on the beach, listening to the waves crash upon the beach. They both remained silent, unable to figure out what to say.

"Blake." She spoke up.

"I'm sorry." Blake interuptted, "I shouldn't have yelled at you at the dance."

Tori smiled, "It's all right. I'm sorry too."

Blake looked away, "I should have warned you ahead of time. I didn't know you lost feelings for me."

Tori shook her head, "Blake. Don't be stupid." She responded.

He looked at her weird, "What?"

Tori rolled her eyes, inching forward, "If I didn't, would I still do this?" She said as she leaned forward and gave him a kiss. Blake closed his eyes and they locked lips for a few seconds. Tori broke away and bit her lips, Blake started to blush.

"I guess not." He responded softly, "I'm sorry if I hurt you during battle."

"It was more like I hurt you." Tori chuckled.

Blake rolled his eyes, "Well then, it's pay back!" He exclaimed as he jumped on Tori. She started to laugh, trying to get away. She got up and ran down the beach, with Blake chasing after him. She used her ninja skills and ran across the ocean water.

Blake crossed his arms, "Now that's not fair." He stammered.

Tori grinned, "Come on, you're not afraid of a little water are you!"

Blake smiled, "No." He said as he ran into the water. Tori tip toe across, trying to stay away. Blake jumped out of the water and knocked Tori into the water. She came up, gasping for air, laughing.

"I'm all wet!" She exclaimed.

"That's what water does!" He laughed. Tori chuckled and pushed Blake back under water again. Blake came up, gasping for air, he looked into Tori's eyes and smiled, "This day turned out better then I thought."

Tori nodded, "Indeed it has. Hope everything is turning out okay with everyone else." She told him.
