CHAPTER 13 Reunions and Explanations
"WHAT?!!" Hunter cried in disbelief at his brother.
"It's the truth Hunter!" Blake said.
"Blake, you're telling me that our powers can be restored purely by a surge of energy from our own elements. That's impossible!" Hunter declared.
"Then how do you explain how I got MY powers back? A thunder bolt struck my morpher and I had my powers back. It happened for a reason Hunter," Blake said.
"Well assuming that it would work for me too, how would the others get their powers back?" Hunter asked.
"Shane from a tornado, that's mostly air involved. Dustin could get his from an earthquake, somehow. And Tori could get hers from a hurricane, a typhoon, or a tsunami storm. Or even a tidal wave," Blake said.
"And Cam?" Hunter asked, smirking because he knew he had gotten Blake. Blake's face fell.
"Oh, tough one. He doesn't really have an element, so maybe a combination of all five of our powers could bring his back," Blake suggested. Conner and Ethan had been watching the two brothers argue for the last thirty minutes.
"This is interesting," Ethan said sarcastically.
"You've got to be kidding me," Conner mumbled. The guys all heard the front door open and footsteps.
"Dr. O!" cried the familiar voice of Kira.
"DOWN STAIRS!!" Tommy cried. The stairway lowered.
"Whoa, freakishly Batman," said a familiar voice.
"Dustin?" Hunter and Blake asked.
"Blake, dude!" Dustin said, descending the stairwell towards his friends. Shane and Cam smiled when they realized Blake was there. Blake shook hands and hugged each of his friends, then his smile spread more when he saw the familiar blonde come down the stairwell. He walked over to her.
"Hey Tor," he said.
"Hey you," she replied. The two quickly kissed, surprising most of the other rangers.
"Uh, when did this happen?" Shane asked.
"Does it matter as long as it has happened?" Tori asked.
"Good point," Cam replied.
"Well, now that we've had reunions, maybe we should make introductions," Trent suggested, coming in behind Tori. The Ninja Storm rangers gathered together while the Dino Thunder rangers stood together.
"Well you all know me, but those of you who haven't met him, this is Blake, my brother and Navy Thunder Ranger," Hunter said.
"Tori Hanson, Blue Wind Ranger."
"Dustin Brooks, Yellow Wind Ranger."
"Shane Clarke, Red Wind Ranger."
"Cam Watanabe, Green Samurai Ranger." Tommy stepped forward, offering his hand to Shane.
"Tommy Oliver, Black Dino Ranger," he introduced. Shane was awestruck but shook Tommy's hand anyway.
"Dude, no way, you're...YOU," Dustin said. The other Dino Thunder Rangers laughed.
"Well, we've met Kira and Trent but you two are obviously the red and blue rangers," Cam commented.
"Ethan James."
"Conner McKnight."
"We have another ranger, the Triassic Ranger. His name's Devin, but that's a long story," Tommy explained.
"Well, introductions aside, Blake has some news. Care to tell them Blake or would you rather show them?" Hunter asked. Blake sighed.
"Show 'em," he said.
"THUNDER STORM, RANGER FORM, HA!!!" Blake said, going through his familiar morphing motions. Cam, Tori, Shane, Dustin, and even Hunter were stunned to see the Navy Thunder Suit appear on Blake's body.
"Dude, no way," Shane said.
"How...," Cam tried to ask.
"A thunder bolt struck his morpher and his powers came back," Hunter explained simply.
"So I'm thinking that a surge of energy from all of your elements might, MIGHT work," Blake said.
"Dude, sweet! We might get out powers back," Dustin said happily.
"What a ditz," Conner whispered. Ethan stared over at him, shocked that Conner could see it in others but not in himself. Back at the restaurant, Leila and Anton had just finished dinner and were working on dessert.
"This is so good. Thank you," Leila said.
"No problem," Anton said as the waiter brought him the check back to sign for his credit card. Anton signed the slip of paper and the second his hand touched the credit card, he started to sweat and get dizzy. Leila noticed this, especially when he started breathing heavily.
"Daddy, are you okay?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. Leila, I need you to call a cab to get home, I need to get going. I'm sorry, I'll call you tomorrow," he said, stuffing his credit card in his pocket and stumbling out the door.
"Dad," she called, standing up and watching him go out the door. Anton walked out of the restaurant to an invisaportal. He made sure no one was watching before sticking his hand in it and disappearing.
"Dad!" Leila called, coming out with her purse just as Anton disappeared. Leila didn't see him disappear but she did see the flash of light.
"Dad?" she asked. When she didn't see or hear him, she let out a sigh of frustration.
"Oh well, time to go," she said. After making sure the coast was clear, she ninja streaked towards Dr. Oliver's house.
End of Chapter 13. Will Blake's Theory work for the other ninja storm rangers? Where will Blake and Tori's relationship go? Ditto for Trent and Kira. Will they learn anything about why Leila spontaneously levitated? What's up with Anton Mercer? Will they figure it out? And what is Leila going to do for her birthday? What surprises await them on any decision they make? Please R&R. Thanks!
