These days were some of the hardest I had ever lived. Ever since Kelly rejected me, I started to lose interest in everything I did, training turned into a way for me to express my anger and sadness. Of course, we talked sometimes, but in embarassment. A small wall had already formed between us, a wall that only time could break down.

Luckily, the Insectrons did not launch any new attacks these few days, thus giving me time to get over the pain. It was hard, but I knew that I had to do it. Mourning for the rest of my life wasn't going to bring her to me.

Here I was, walking back home after another 2-hour training session at the mountains. Every part of my body ached, I even twisted my leg during a small speed practice.

The dampness in the air made me sweat from head to toe, I practically hated this kind of weather.

Suddenly, I sensed some strange movement nearby. Hiding into a dark corner, I carefully peered out to the ledge.

'What?' My mind yelled. Insectoids! About ten of them were moving around in the open space. Although I couldn't see what they were doing, it was clear that it was something bad. I immediately revealed my ninja uniform and jumped out of the shadows.

'Hey!' I yelled, startling the whole lot of them as they looked up in surprise. 'What the hell do you think you're doing?'

Quick as a flash, they scattered and before I knew it, they were gone!

Checking where they had just been, I tried to see if there was anything wrong. However, to my amazement, everything was fine.

'What were they trying to do?' I thought as I continued to search the area. I kept thinking the same question as I walked back home, whatever they were planning, I had a bad feeling about it.

My worries lessened however the next day. Nothing went wrong, at least for now. I hoped that I was just in time to stop whatever plan they had.

'Hey, do you think we'll make the finals?' Tina, another girl from the drama team asked me, knocking me out of my thoughts.

I grinned softly, 'Yeah, hope so. We've practiced a lot recently, it's definitely going to be of some good use.'

The competition was only a few days away, so again we spent a lot of time getting everything perfect. Now, we planned to give ourselves a small treat and headed over to the nearby juice bar.

Before I knew it, we were walking on the same place where the Insectoids had appeared last night. 'Well, at least everything's ok.' My mind thought as I looked around again.

'Derek!' I jumped in shock as I heard Kelly calling me.

'Yeah?' Act cool, my instincts instructed. 'What's up?' I asked casually.

She walked over to me, 'I just wanted to tell you that -'

Before the words came out of her mouth, the ground below us started to shake violently.

'What is going on?' Issac cried out in surprise.

'C'mon!' I yelled, 'Let's get out of here now!' But as we tried to get away, the ground beneath us cracked and crumbled.

I heard screams around me as the six of us fell down the hole, the last thing I saw was the swirling darkness as it enveloped me, and then I knew no more.

Sometime Later

My eyes slowly opened as I awoke. 'Ow, my head hurts like hell!' I cursed under my breath as I sat up. The fall was probably very big as almost everywhere was pitch-black, the only light came in small streams from above.

I quickly looked around for the others, luckily everyone was there, but unconcious. 'What should I do? Wake them up or see if there's an exit?'

Suddenly, I felt a hand grip my shoulder! In a flash, I twisted the hand and plowed my attacker to the ground.

'Ouch!' A familiar female voice called out.

I walked over slowly to see who it was. 'Ohmygosh!' I cried out as I ran forward. I had accidentally knocked Kelly to the ground! 'Why didn't you look carefully first?' I scoulded myself.

'Kelly, I'm so sorry, I thought someone wanted to attack me.' I apologized as I helped her back onto her feet.

'I'm sorry too.' She murmured, 'I shouldn't have done that.'

'Are you sure you're ok? Did you hurt yourself when you fell down?'

'Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, I never knew you were a martial artist, a good one too!' Kelly joked, causing me to blush faintly.

'Nah, just some basic self defense skills.' I replied. 'Since Kelly's awake, I'll have to wait for the others then look for a way out of here.'

A few moments later, everyone started to wake up. Of course they were scared, so it actually took quite a while to calm them down.

'Alright, it's getting late. We'd better get going or we might never find a way out.' I said as I started to make my way around the area.

Something was very wrong about this place. The underground should be plain and everything, but where we were was similar to a maze, with paths and steps. It was as if we were on a trail or something.

For the next hour, we continued to walk around, but still found no way to get out of this place.

'Oh man!' Issac moaned, 'I'm like so tired right now, not to mention my stomach is growling too!'

I placed an arm on his shoulder and grinned. 'C'mon man, I'm sure everyone is feeling just the way you do, we gotta keep going!'

'Derek's right.' Tina said, 'We can't give up, there must be an exit here somewhere!'

Suddenly, a faint glow came up ahead, we must have found the way out!

'Hey, let's go guys! We did it!' Issac yelled happily as everyone started to run to the source of light.

I sighed in relief as I thought that we'd finally be able to leave this place. However, my joy turned into horror as I saw what was before me.

'Please tell me I'm dreaming!' This was practically impossible. Other than the dozens of Insectoids who greeted us with their swords, there was yet another monster, with dozens of tubes and wires sticking out of it.

Slowly, the monster nodded up its gruesome head and stared directly at us with its blood-red eyes. 'Ah, perfect! A few human beings for me to test my new powers on!'

Everyone stood frozen in place, no one dared to move a muscle, all that could be heard was the thumping of their own heartbeats.

'Now,' The monster roared, 'Feel the wrath of Elecsect!' It raised its hand as a surge of crackling electricity came speeding towards us.

'Everyone get down!' I yelled as I quickly knocked them onto the floor, preventing them to be charcoaled.

'You can duck, but you'll die in the end!' It laughed, 'Insectoids, kill them!'

Every single Insectoid locked their weapons into place and ran directly at us, killing us became their only goal.

I pushed them towards the way where we came in. 'Let's get outta here, fast!'

We started to run as fast as we could away from the Insectoids, but they were gaining on us more and more. Finally, we came to a dead-end, we were trapped!

'Oh no!' Kelly screamed, 'There's no where left to go, what are we gonna do?'

'We're gonna die, we're gonna die!' Tina yelled at the top of her lungs.

My mind was starting to race like crazy. There was no way I'd be able to walk away and morph like last time, and I'd definitely stand no chance against the whole lot of them unmorphed. The choice was clear: I had to morph in front of them, I'd had to expose my identity.

'Guys, stand back.' I said as I stepped in front of them, blocking them from the Insectoids.

'What are you doing man? This is no time to show off!' Issac cried as he tried to pull me backwards.

I shook my arm free from his grip and pushed him backwards. 'I said stand back! That means everyone of you!' I ordered firmly. I pointed a finger at the lot of beasts and roared in fury. 'You want a piece of me? Bring it on. Tornado Storm, Ranger Form!'

In a blazing flash, I stood fully morphed and headed directly at the Insectoids and started to attack. 'Hurrican Ranger, time to take you down!'

'What? Derek is the Hurricane Ranger? That's impossible!' Magli whispered in surprise.

I narrow blocked a chop aimed at my shoulder and sent a strike directly at it. 'Need a hand?' I mocked as one of its limbs flew off and landed onto the ground.

With a swift leap I jumped into the air. 'This is certainly going to blow your mind! Raging hurricane!' I yelled as I sent a huge wave at the Insectoids, sending them flying in all directions and blasting goo everywhere.

Seeing every Insectoid gone, I slowly headed over to my surprised friends. 'Is anyone hurt or anything?'

My question was simply ignored as they gathered around me in awe.

'Derek, you're the Hurricane Ranger?' Issac asked as he waved his hand in front of my visor.

'Hey, cut if off man!' I laughed. 'Now's not a good time to explain, but you all have to promise not to tell anyone. If my secret gets leaked out, then everything's over.'

'No problem, you can trust us, your secret is safe with us.' Tina assured. 'But I still can't believe it. You, the Power Ranger, wow!'

'Huh? When did you show up Hurricane Ranger?' The monster Elesect roared. 'Great, now I'll get to kill you too. Once you're dead, Lord Centaron would definitely raise my rank. Die!'

'Guys, hide in some place safe, I'll take care of it.' I yelled as I shoved them away.

As soon as they were out of sight, I ran forward and delivered a kick at Elesect. However, it sent waves of electricity at me, shocking me in pain as I crashed onto the ground.

Straining to stand up, I took out the Panther Cannon and aimed it at the monster. 'Fire!' I yelled as a blast headed straight for Elesect.

'No way!' I cried out in surprise as Elesect completely absorbed the attack and fired it directly at me.

'Boom!' I was completely knocked back by the impact as I lay on the floor in pain.

'Elektra field!' It cried as a wall of high voltage electricity surrounded me. I was stuck!

I tried to get through, but everytime I touched it, a large amount of pain went shooting up and down my body.

'Now, you be a good lil' ranger while I finish off those puny humans first, then I'll come back to end your life soon enough. Be patient!' It laughed as it headed into the direction where the Kelly and the others hid.

'Haha! You'll die first cute one!' I heard Elesect roar from a distance.

'Let me go you disgusting bug!' Kelly yelled in pain and terror.

Elesect was going to kill Kelly, I had to think of something, fast! If not, it'd be the end of Kelly's life!

To be continued.
