CHAPTER 3 Surprise In Spandex

Cam had distanced himself from the group in order to prepare Ninja Ops for the incoming guests. The others preoccupied their time with concern for Hunter.

"Man, I've never seen this miserable," Blake stated. They were all at the Motocross track, watching Hunter stare off into space as he tossed a screw between each hand.

"Did you guys ever try looking for Ani?" Shane asked.

"Plenty of times, but we never had anything to go on. Sensei wouldn't tell us what academy she was taken to for whatever reason he had and even if he had told us, it's doubtful he would've known where to find it," Blake explained.

"Dude that's harsh," Dustin said.

"Yeah, Hunter has really tried to move on from Ani. He's dated plenty of girls but never exclusively. I think he's to the point where it's Ani or no one for him."

"What's with the necklace he keeps messing with?" Tori asked.

"Oh Ani gave it to him. The ones in the middle stand for her and Hunter. The navy one is for me and the two white ones are our parents. She said he could add a colored bead to represent anyone he wants. I guess the others are for you guys and Cam," Blake explained. Sure enough, there were a yellow, light blue, another red one, and a green bead on either side of the two center beads on Hunter's necklace. The others watched Hunter, wishing there was something they could do for him.

Meanwhile, a surprise had rolled into town by the name of Drea. Her parents pulled up into a General Store parking lot and came to a stop.

"Now Andrea, we'll be a while, but stay in the car," her father said to her as he got out of the car.

"Drea, Dad! Dre-a," she said, trying to emphasize on the nickname she preferred to her real name.

"Stay in the car," her mother replied. Drea rolled her eyes.

"Yes m'am," she said, sitting back and sighing. Her parents walked into the store and she just stared out the window at the new surroundings. Blue Bay Harbor was a pretty town, similar to her own, but it was nice being in a new environment. She was taking in all of the scenery when her attention fell on suspicious characters in the distance. She wasn't sure what they were but the Ninja Rangers knew them as Zurgane and Kelzacks. Drea took notice of them walking into the woods near the motocross track they had passed on the way into town. Looking back to see if her parents were coming, Drea took a risk and got out of the car, running after the Kelzacks.

Meanwhile, back at Ninja Ops, Cam was hot on the trail of the Zurgane as well.

"Cam, are the rooms prepared yet?" Sensei asked his son calmly.

"Yea dad, but I've got to get down to the motocross track fast. Guys," he called into the communicator.

"Go for Shane."

"Zurgane is in the woods next to the track and he's got Kelzacks with them. See what they're up to and I'll meet you there," Cam said. Suddenly, screams rang out across the motocross track and the ranger's head shot up to see the Kelzacks roaming all over the area.

"Well, we won't have to go too far," Tori replied. Hunter snapped out of his depression long enough to know when he was needed. He joined his friends in a line up, cutting off the Kelzacks and Zurgane from going any further.

"Let's finish this before it starts guys," Shane said commandingly. The others glanced around quickly to make sure the coast was clear.

"Ninja storm! Thunder Storm! Ranger Form, hah!" Red, blue, yellow, navy and crimson lights illuminated and died down to reveal the kids wearing their respective suits. The wind rangers geared up with their swords, while the Thunder Rangers grabbed their staffs.

"ATTACK!!!" Zurgane called. The Kelzacks charged at the rangers. It began and continued as an even fight with a slight advantage to the rangers. Shane took out a number of Kelzacks with a Ninja Air Assault while Dustin took out unsuspecting Kelzacks with an underground attack as they had tried to sneak up on Blake and Hunter. The Thunder Rangers were holding their own as they usually do but Tori was in for a surprise as Zurgane chose her as his solo victim. He slashed his sword at her, which sent her flying backwards, landing on the ground in pan. Zurgane slowly approached her, ready to rid the world of one less ranger.

"Goodbye, pretty ranger," he said, drawing his sword up. Tori braced herself for the attack when she was saved at the last second. Cam came out of nowhere, suited up as the Samurai Ranger and kicked Zurgane out of the way. He turned to Tori and offered his hand, which she gladly accepted.

"You okay?" he asked.

"You know it," she replied with confidence. They chased after Zurgane, who had retreated back towards the Kelzacks. A few minutes passed and the rangers had not noticed what they were being forced into. Zurgane, however, knew exactly what to when he saw the rangers in a circle, almost back to back. He took out a glowing whip and slapped it towards the rangers. A cloud of dust and sparks of light went off and before anyone knew. The rangers were tied up all together and dangling four feet above the ground.

"Hey, what is this man?" Dustin asked, struggling to get free.

"Ahhh, the rope is so tight," Hunter said, breathing hard.

"Haha, that's right rangers. Struggle all you want but that rope will get tighter and tighter around all of you until you can't handle it anymore," Zurgane explained.

"HEY, METAL MOUTH!!!!" Everyone, rangers, Kelzacks, and Zurgane, all turned their attention to the small hill where the voice had come from. Standing their proud and tall was Drea, however, she had ditched her street style clothes and was surprisingly wearing a black ninja suit from a school the rangers could not recognize.

"Who is that?" Shane asked.

"You good with riddles metal head?" Drea asked sarcastically.

"What?" asked a confused and angered Zurgane.

"What's worse than six rangers?" she asked simply.

"Huh?" he asked, still confused and unsure of the question. Drea brought her right hand up to where her wrist was revealed, incredibly, and silver morpher similar to the wind ranger's.

"No way," Blake replied.

"Lightning Storm, Ranger Form, hah!" Drea said. Her motions starting out similar to the wind rangers but she ended the movements by point her hand downward before activating the morpher completely. When her morpher was activated, lightning struck the ground and silver light illuminated from her feet up, creating a silver ranger uniform with a mixed style of both wind and thunder.

"KELZACKS ATTACK!!!" Zurgane yelled. The Kelzacks hesitated a little but then approached the new ranger. Drea took her staff and did a series of motions that made it light up.

"Lightning Staff!" she cried before bringing it and hitting it towards the ground. "STRIKE!!!" Lightning erupted the ground and knocked out all the Kelzacks in a single strike.

"Whoa," the rangers replied in unison. Zurgane began to back up in fear. Drea picked up her staff, which was still lit and pointed it towards the rope strangling the rangers. A bolt of lightning shot out at it, breaking it's grip on the rangers. Zurgane began to shake even more so and looked from the Silver Ranger to the other rangers who had put their focus on him.

"Oh no, I'm gonna hear about this later," he said to himself before disappearing. The rangers stepped forward to try and attack but missed by a little bit. They then looked towards the hill, only to find that Drea had disappeared.

"Another ranger?! That's sick, bro," Dustin said.

"Yea, but who is it?" Tori asked.

Who is Drea anyway? And what's the story behind the new ranger power anyway? Give me some reviews good and constructive ones please and I'll post the next chappie so you can find out.
