Chapter 9

Hunter walked along the motocross track thinking about all he had learned, Kyle was Blake's brother and Blake had known he was going to die. Why hadn't Blake tried to cheat fate? Maybe once it could work.

But Hunter knew Kyle was speaking the truth and as much as he might wish otherwise Blake was forever gone. He loved Tori; Hunter knew that and felt guilty for it. He hadn't been attracted to her at first site, Blake had been but for Hunter it had happened over a period of time. But he had kept it deep down to where even he wouldn't have to deal with it. Did Tori feel anything for him? Or just the same guilt he did? Maybe tonight he would have a talk with her.

Hunter found himself at the spot where Blake had met his end. Give me some guidance, Hunter thought to himself silently. He sat down, closed his eyes, and prayed for answers to be given to him.

Tori walked along enjoying the powers within her, she felt so calm and sure, like nothing could get in her way. She soon found herself on the beach, "Lothor I challenge you to battle! I now possess more power than you, show yourself if you dare!"

Suddenly before she could blink he appeared before her, "more power we shall see."

He sneered, "So you allowed the powers of darkness within you, impressive but even that won't help you."

Tori stood unafraid, "this time we fight until one of us is left standing."

Lothor smiled, "I do love the stench of rangers dying."

Tori used that to fan the flames of rage, "the only stench will be you rotting."

Lothor assumed a fighting stance, "to the finish then."

"To the finish." Tori agreed.



Hunter found himself standing in a fog and soon he came face to face with Blake."

"Blake is it you?"

"Yes and you must listen tome carefully, Tori is in danger and only you can help her."
