Chapter 3: I Know You're Strong
Just as his brother finished, Hunter saw CyberCam coming in for another attack. He hoped someone got a way in soon, because he wasn't sure how much longer he could take with the cyber. When CyberCam landed a kick to Hunter's chest, it sent the blond flying back into a wall, hitting the ground.
"Time to up the stakes," Hunter said as he stood up. "Thunder storm, ranger form!"
But the cyber simply laughed when nothing happened. "I did plan for that, as well. I'm just surprised you waited this long to morph."
Hunter only groaned, this wasn't going to last much longer. Fighting a cyber who didn't feel pain and didn't get tired was bad enough, but fighting one without Ranger powers was even worse.
"Cam, FYI, I can't morph and I'm getting my butt kicked here," Hunter said, deciding to unleash an attack of his own.
"I'm trying, Hunter."
"Just wanted to let you know. Blake and the others are coming," was the reply Cam got, with a grunt at the end.
Hunter fell to his knees, his arms around his abdomen. He saw the field change color from the corner of his eye. Turning, he saw Blake's concerned face in front of Shane, Dustin and Tori.
"Bro, how's it going?" he heard Blake ask.
"I need help, now! I'm worked, it's not getting better and I can't morph," Hunter replied as he fought CyberCam.
"Just keep fighting, bro. We'll get you outta there," Blake pleaded.
"Don't take too long. I'm not sure how much more fight I've got left."
"You just keep fighting," Blake ordered, his voice solid and stern.
"I found a way out of the Zord Bay," Cam said. "I'm on my way."
Cam pushed his way past the Wind Rangers and stood next to Blake as CyberCam got the better of Hunter.
"Now what?" Shane asked.
"Hunter, hang in there. Help's on the way," Cam said before leaving Blake to watch CyberCam beating his brother.
"Hunter!" he screamed when his brother was thrown across the room.
The crimson-clad body hit the wall and landed on the floor with a sick thud. While Cam used a small computer near the handprint reader, Blake watched CyberCam stalk the unconscious Hunter.
