Chapter 4: Shaking Things Up
The gang stood around in the Reefside Highschool's hall way. Conner and Ethan stood at the entrance of the science room, waiting to see what would happen next. Trent and and Kira began to walk away.
"Kira.." Dustin shouted her name.
She turned around shaking her head, "Go home Dustin."
Trent wrapped his arms around her shoulder and pulled her close. Conner clenched his fist, but hid his anger away as he watched. He just wanted to go over there and punch him, but he knew that Kira would be piss at him if he did.
"Oh come on Kira. Don't be so hard on him. Why doesn't he just come to the movies with us?" He suggested.
Kira raised an eyebrow, she was a tad disappointed, wanting to spend time alone with Trent. She smiled weakly, "All right."
Trent nodded, "All right then. Dustin, the movie starts at 8. Don't be late."
Trent and Kira turned around and walked down the hall way. Conner, Ethan and Dustin watched as they exited out of the door. Conner took a step forward, just in time to see them disappear around the corner.
"We following them?"
Conner nodded, "Were following them."
"You have a thing for her?" Ethan asked next.
Without thinking he nodded, "Yeah.." He then blinked, realizing what he said, "I mean no! Ah crap, just meet me at Cyberspace a quarter before 8." He said before running out the door.
Ethan slowly turned to Dustin and shrugged. Dustin scratched his head, unsure what to say. Ethan extended his hand.
"Ethan James by the way."
"Dustin Brooks." Dustin replied back.
Ethan nodded and grinned, "So your Kira's brother eh? For a sec, I thought you were her boyfriend or something. Conner was gonna have a heart attack."
Dustin raised an eyebrow, "Oh Really?"
Ethan nodded, trying not to burst into laughter, "Oh yeah. You could see it in his face." He chuckled, "Come on. I'll show you around Reefside if you want. You got nothing else to do till 8 right?"
"Okay." Was all Dustin could say.
They both began walking out of the school and outside. Ethan spotted Conner pulling out of the parking lot and onto the road.
"So you heard of the new game that came out!? The LX-45. It's so sweet." He said exictingly.
"I don't play games.." Dustin answered honestly.
Ethan shrug, "Let's just go to Cyberspace."

Somewhere Between Blue Bay Harbor and Reefside
Shane had given up on fixing the car. He just left it on the side of the road and they began walking to the city. Eric was humming a happy tune as they walked. The sun was beating and it was hot. This was the worst day that Shane had gone through. Eric started dragged behind as they continue to walk. He began to hum louder, eventually swaying his body around. Shane turned around and gave him a weird look. Eric didn't notice and started to dance, going along with his hum.
"Dude, what are you doing?" Shane asked.
Eric stopped and turned to him., "What?"
Shane was speechless, "What was that?" He asked.
Suddenly Shane spotted a van coming towards him. He moved onto the road and tried to wave to get their attention. The van drove right past him, music blaring. Shane recongized the baby blue van.
"Tori!!!" He shouted out.
Tori was driving down the road at fast speed, the music was loud. She didn't notice Shane and kept on driving by. Hunter and Marah were singing to the song.
"We are all innocent! We are all innocent!!!" They both chorus.
Tori hit the button, shutting the music off, "I can't stand that song!"
Marah pouted, "Oh come on Tori! Your no fun!"
Hunter crossed his arm too and pouted, "Party pooper."
Tori rolled her eyes, "Oh my god.. Your all a bunch of eleven year olds."
Hunter mocked her in a girlie voice, "Oh my god.. Your all a bunch of eleven year olds."
Tori slapped him in the shoulder before regaining control of the steering wheel.
Cam was busy reading a book in the back. Marah leaned back on her seat and looked over at his book.
"How do you read this stuff?" She asked.
Cam shook his head, "Ya know Marah. It never hurts to open a good book."
Hunter shrugged, "Who needs to read when you got music!!" He exclaimed before blasting the music out loud.
Tori glared at him but Hunter gave her the innocent puppy dog eyes.
Cam looked up from his book and out the window, 'This is going to be one long road trip.."

Reefside
Ethan and Dustin entered Cyberspace. The place was packed, and music was blasting through the speaks. Ethan and Dustin made there way through the crowd and found a table. Dustin climbed onto the stool and looked around.
"What a crazy place." Dustin commented, "It's sweet."
Ethan laughed, "It's really packed when Kira performs."
Dustin turned his head and gave a puzzled but surprised look, "She performs here?"
He nods, "She's really good."
Dustin leaned back on the stool and sighed. He always wanted to hear his sister sing, he never really actually got to see her sing live. Just the recording on the tape. Maybe he will get his chance while he's here.
Trent came walking towards them, his eyes fixed on a note pad., "What can I.." He said as he looked up, "Oh.. Dustin. Ethan."
Ethan waved, "So your working now?"
Dustin looked around, "Thought you were with Kira?"
"I dropped her off at home. She's getting ready for tonight." He told her, "Do you guys want a drink?"
"A soda will do." Ethan informed him.
Dustin nodded, "Same."
Trent smirked and went behind the counter to get their drinks. Hayley was in the back, trying to find more supplies for the customers. Trent poured out their drinks and placed them down. He looked around to see if anyone was watching him and then took out a small tube in his pocket. It was a green liquid, he opened the cap and poured it in the soda.

He looked around to see if anyone was watching him and then took out a small tube in his pocket. It was a green liquid, he opened the cap and poured it in the soda.
"Drink up my friend. You're going on a ride of a life time." He grinned as he placed the drink on a tray and brought it over.
Dustin and Ethan looked up at him as he put down the drink. Trent specifically handed Dustin the drink that he contaminated with it.
"It's on the house." Trent smiled before walking off.
Dustin was stoked and began to gulp it down. Ethan watched as he drank it without taking a break.
"Slow down man." Ethan told him.
Dustin put the glass down, "What? I was thirsty. What time is it?"
"7 o'clock. Do you even know where the movie place is?"
Dustin shrugged and get's up, "I'll find it."
"Don't tell Kira where following her. She'll pop us a shot."
Dustin laughed, "All right. Thank's man" He said and exited with haste.
The time was nearing 8 and Ethan was waiting outside of Cyberspace. He finally spotted Conner driving down the street towards him. He stopped and Ethan climbed into the car.
"You sure you wanna do this?" Ethan asked.
Conner nodded and pulled back onto the street, "Oh yeah. Did Trent leave yet?"
He nodded, "Yeah. They should be at the movies soon."
Conner drove fast towards the Reefside Movies. He parked his car on the other side of the street in the shadows and waited patiently. Ethan yawned as he watched also.
"Hey there they are!" He whispered and pointed them out.
Kira and Trent were walking down the street towards the movies. Conner could see her laughing as she and him bought the movies ticket and waited patiently for Dustin.
"You think so?" She asked.
Trent nodded, "Oh defiantly. Your hair would be great if you add a little blonde to it."
She smiled and blushed, looking at her watch, "Where is that dufus? The movie starts in 5 minutes."
Trent looked around, "Come on. Let's go get some food. He'll probably meet us inside."
Kira nodded and they both walked in. Conner and Ethan climbed out of the car and followed quickly, sneaking past the ticket booth and inside. They hide behind a bush and continue to spy as Trent and Kira bought popcorn. Conner then spotted Dustin stumbling in.
Dustin looked around. He was feeling a bit weird for some reason. His head was pounding and it felt like it was 90' degrees. He stumbled forward, his vision was blurry. He couldn't really see anything. He did his best to keep balance as Kira spotted him.
"Dustin! You made it!" She exclaimed, running over. She then stopped and looked at him with concern, "Are you all right?"
Dustin wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded, gasping for breath before replying, "Yeah I'm fine."
Kira handed her soda to Trent and walked him over to the wall, "Are you sure? I should take you home."
He shook his head, "Dude, Kira. I said I'm fine." He said as he tried to stand straight, "Come on, has the movie started."
Trent watched from the distant, taking a sip from his drink. Dustin walked slowly, the pounding in his head worsen. As a ninja, Dustin had to control his powers and keep them in line. He had mastered it, but for some reason, he was having a hard time controlling, so he didn't expect what was going to happen next. Dustin fell to his knees, as the place began to rock.
Kira gasped as she lost balance. Conner jumped out of the bush and used his dino speed to catch her. Ethan climbed out and tried to make his way towards them. People started to scream as they grabbed onto something.
"Conner!?" Kira gasped.
"What's going on!?" He exclaimed.
Trent dropped the soda, holding onto a rail, "What the hell?"
Kira turned to see Dustin trying to stand back up, "Since when did Reefside have earthquakes?"

The Outskirt of Reefside
Tori was doing the best she could to gain control of the car as the ground beneath them began to shake. She slammed on her breaks and they climbed out of the car. They were almost into Reefside, but the earthquake came out of no where.
Tori held onto the side of her van as she tried to gain balance, "What's happening Cam!?"
Cam dropped his book and looked around, holding onto the door, "I don't know. This can't be right. Reefside shouldn't be having an earthquake. It's no where near the plates."
"The what!?" Hunter shouted, trying to be louder then the rumble.
Tori tried to walk forward but fell, she fell into Hunter's arm. Hunter held onto her tightly as the place continued to shake. Marah held onto Cam's shoulder, trying to look around.
"Do you think..?" Marah whispered, "Do you think Dustin's doing this?"
"Impossible. This is to great of a power for even him. Not even the greatest Ninja can summon up an earthquake like this."
Suddenly the earthquake stopped instantly and everyone stood up.
Tori fixed her hair before turning to them, "Well right now, anything is possible. We should stay on alert."
"This should ruin our fun though!" Hunter tried to cheer them up.
Cam sighed, "I'll have Cyber Cam monitor the waves."

Reefside
Dustin stood up and turned to them. He brushed his messy hair back and looked at Kira, "Whoa, talk about totally weird. I never been an earthquake before." He told them.
Kira nodded, unsure what to say. Suspicion rose as she eyed him. Dustin sighed deeply as he looked around, as if he wanted to run. Dustin didn't want her to know the powers he possessed, or the fact he was even a ranger at one time in his life.
Trent took a step forward, "So much for the movies. Now what?"
Conner glanced at Trent then Dustin, "Let's get out of here."
