Hi everyone :)

It's the last chapter! There will be no epilouge because writer's block isn't permitting me to write one. I don't think one is needed anyway. Everything is pretty much wrapped up. However, even though I have the writers block, there are other stories in process as I said last chapter so I guess it's just this one that I've got it on.
Time for reviews :

NeoVenus22 : Wow, I can't believe you bothered to review each chapter :) Since you took the time to write each seperate review all at once, I'll take the time to answer each single review. 1) Glad to hear that. 2) The Ace Ventura movies rock don't they? :) Glad you're loving it. 3) I totally can't believe you hate that song! Glad you thought it went well though :) 4) Glad you liked the chocolate comment. I thought it fit his character pretty well lol. 5) Ha ha! Another victory for bugging readers :) I like to bug my readers, it's oh so much fun. Hope this update has come quick enough for you :)

Makia Durron : Dude, majorly blushing right now :) I have fans...Not just ordinary fans, but LOYAL fans. I'm so happy :) Hope this update has come fast enough for you.

I'd also like to thank Crimson-Ranger, Divagurl277, huntersgrl13, Aubrey, alexis, CamFan4Ever and Moonlit Sea for all reviewing as well. Big hugs for all :)

Now, without further ado, it's time to wrap this puppy up...

16:01
Zero hours, zero minutes remain.

"Crimson Blaster!" Hunter called as he fired several crimson laser beams out of his weapon. They had no effect of the alien, which had already split into two, though and it ran past him and Blake, knocking them to the ground in a burst of sparks. They both let out grunts of pain and stuggled to get up.

"I can't hold out much longer!" Blake cried as he tried to push himself up but his hand slipped beneath him and he fell back to the ground.

"You've gotta hold on." Hunter encouraged, managing to get to his feet. "They'll be here soon."

"Blake, Hunter! Tori and Dustin are on the way. Pull out." Cam's voice suddenly came through on their morphors.

"See, told you." Hunter said as he lifted his brother to his feet. "Let's go." They both quickly dashed away, not having the strength to streak.

"Hey, where are you going?" One of the aliens called, taking a few steps forward with it's twin.

"Yeah, we were jusssst getting sssstarted!" The other called as well.

"How about we help you finish off then?" Tori and Dustin called from the side. The two aliens turned to face them.

"Oh, good. Another two Rangersss." One of the aliens, (A/N gonna call him Alien 1 to avoid later confusion) hissed through a laugh.

"Ready to be beaten?" Alien 2, (A/N original name huh?) taunted.

"You're the ones who are gonna be beaten!" Tori and Dustin corrected together. They all took up fighting stances before they charged at each other, Tori taking on Alien 1 while Dustin handled Alien 2. Tori and Dustin moved in perfect synchronisation throwing kicks and punches, gradually pushing the two aliens back. The two aliens suddenly swiped at them both but they managed to roll out of the way in opposite directions, coming back up on their knees and holding out their arms towards the aliens. "Ninja Beams!" They cried firing at the aliens. The lasers hit the aliens and sparks flew everywhere. The aliens staggered back and let out identical groans of pain. Tori and Dustin drew their swords and held them out. "Ninja Sword Gold, Power Up!" They said as their blades shinned with a bright golden light. Together, they charged at aliens from different angles and when they met in the middle, they leapt into the air, flipping over when they were at their highest point. "Ninja Power!" They called as they brought their swords down on the aliens. They slashed at them several before jumping away and taking up their victory stances. With a simultaneous cry, the aliens collapsed and exploded.

Tori and Dustin just stood there for a moment before relaxing and opening their visors. Glancing at each other, they both let out small laughs of triumph. Tori ran up to Dustin and threw herself into his arms. He caught her and held her tightly, swinging her around. Sure, they had beaten aliens before, but this was the first time they had done it by themselves and the first time they truely realised how deep their bond had become.

"Hey guys!" They heard Shane call. Dustin put Tori down but kept his hands rested on her hips while she had her hands rested on his shoulders. The others reached them and opened their visors as well. "You both all right?" Shane inquired.

"We're fine." Tori and Dustin both assured.

"Dude, that was amazing." Hunter told them in awe. "You were perfectly synchronised the whole way through. You even fell in the same way at the same time." Before Tori or Dustin could reply, the alien suddenly appeared in it's giant form behind them.

"I'm not finissssshed yet." It hissed at them.

"Well that should've been obvious." Blake grumbled as they all stared up at the giant alien.

"How are we gonna beat it?" Shane asked Cam.

"We just have to destroy it before it can split into two." Cam told them. "It won't be easy but it is possible."

"All right." Shane nodded. "Let's go guys." He said to Tori and Dustin who let each other go. They all ran forward a few steps before jumping high into the air and landing in their zords which joined together shortly afterwards.

"Ready bro?" Hunter asked his brother.

"You know it." Blake nodded holding his fist in front of himself. The two Thunder's jumped into their zords and formed their Mega Zord as well.

"Samurai Star Chopper!" Cam called, holding out his amulet. The bird shapped air craft flew until it was above him. A rope lowered down and he pulled himself up into the cockpit. "Samurai Star Mega Zord!" He said as he pressed a few buttons and the chopper turned into a it's human shaped form.

"Okay guys, let's make this quick." Shane ordered.

"Right." Everyone agreed. Blake and Hunter attacked first while Tori, Shane and Dustin called on some weapons. They all used their Power Discs to release the Serpant Sword.

"Tori, Dustin, combine the Ram Hammer and the Turtle Mace." Cam instructed.

"You up for a combo Tori?" Dustin asked.

"You bet." Tori replied, pulling out the right Power Disc. "Turtle Mace. Locked and dropped, ready to rock."

"Ram Hammer. Locked and dropped, ready to rock."

The two Power Spheres popped out and split open. The two weapons came together and the Mega Zord took hold of them. It clanged over to the alien which thankfully hadn't split yet and was being kept occupied by the Thunder Mega Zord and Samurai Star Mega Zord. The two Mega Zords both punched the alien in the stomach, sending it flying backwards and then stepped aside making room for the Storm Mega Zord. Just as the alien had got to it's feet, the Storm Mega Zord threw the Turtle Mace out. It hit the alien and caused sparks to shower out. While the alien was still stunned from the blow, the Storm Mega Zord backed up slightly.

"Ram Hammer, full power!" Dustin ordered. The Ram Hammer grew and slammed down onto the alien causing it to explode is clouds of smoke, fire and sparks.

The Rangers all let out cries of joy and congratulated each other as the Zords they occupied stood there triumphantly as the rapidly thinning smoke blew around them.

The six Rangers walked into Ninja Ops after returning from the zord fight. Shane, Cam, Blake and Hunter walked in first and Dustin and Tori trailed behind slightly, Dustin's arm unconciously drapped around Tori's shoulders. The four guys who entered all sat down at the table in the middle and looked at the new couple as they came over.

"So, I'm guessing you two are an item now." Shane grinned. Dustin and Tori, suddenly realising their position, quickly pulled away from each other and stared at the floor shyly. "Hey, what's with all the shyness?" Shane frowned in confusion. Neither Tori or Dustin answered because they weren't quite sure themselves. It wasn't that they were shy about being together. It was more like they were shy about showing they were together in front of the others. They didn't know why, they just were.

"Tori and Dustin's new found relationship is a new concept." Sensei said as he jumped up on the table. "We will all need time to adjust to it." They all gave mixed reactions to this statement. Shane, Hunter and Cam shrugged having all ready excepted it, Tori and Dustin just stared at the edge of the table they now sat at uncomfortably and Blake looked at the edge of the table somewhat sadly. He gave a small sigh that no-one noticed. No-one except Dustin that is.

Blake stood alone by the edge of the lake near Ninja Ops. He stared out at the clear, still water and sighed. Dustin and Tori were a couple now. That meant his chances with Tori were thrown out of the window. He'd get used to it though...Eventually. He suddenly heard hesitant footsteps on the gravel behind him and he turned to see Dustin slowly walking up to him.

"Hey dude." Dustin greeted as he came up to the Thunder Ninja's side.

"Hey." Blake replied through a sigh.

"You're cool about it aren't you?" Dustin asked, feeling that it was probably best to just get straight to the point. Blake didn't answer right away and just carried on staring at the water. Dustin watched him nervously, a part of him fearing the worst.

"Yeah." Blake murmured after a while. "Yeah, it's cool." Dustin continued to watch him, trying to make out if he was sincere or not. Finally he decided that, although he couldn't tell for sure, Blake was being reluctantly sincere.

"Okay, cool." Dustin said un-enthustiastically while nodding his head slightly. "You, erm...You wanna hit the track?" He offered as a sort of olive branch.

"Nah, I'm gonna stay here a bit longer." Blake answered.

"Kay." Dustin nodded again as he turned to leave. He could take a hint. As he walked away he saw Tori walking towards him. They met up a small way off from Blake. "Looking for me?" Dustin inquired quietly so Blake couldn't hear.

"Actually, I was looking for Blake. I need to talk to him." Tori explained. Dustin nodded and, although he wasn't sure if that was the best idea, he decided not to mention it. Things were going to get awkward if things carried on like this and Blake might actually listen to Tori.

"I'll catch up with you later then. Meet you at the beach?" Dustin suggested.

"Sure." Tori smiled. She glanced over Dustin's shoulder to make sure Blake wasn't looking or anything before quickly standing on the tips of her toes and quickly kissing Dustin's cheek. A huge, slightly goofy grin spread over his face like he'd just won the lottery or something. Tori smiled back at him and gave his arm a quick rub before walking past him. He watched her approach Blake slowly before wandering back to Ninja Ops to see if Hunter wanted to go to the track.

Tori came up beside Blake and joined him in staring out at the water. After a moment, she glanced at him. "You all right?" She checked.

"Yeah, I guess." Blake sighed, not bothering to look at her.

"Except..." Tori prompted, knowing what was wrong but feeling it would help him if he said it himself.

"I'm just gonna need a little more time to get used to you and...Dustin." He said quietly.

"Yeah. I know what you mean." Tori agreed, looking back at the lake just before Blake turned to look at her, slightly surprised. "I'm still getting used to it myself. Falling in love with someone who you've known forever in the space of a day is kind of a surprise." She explained with a small amused frown as she turned back to look at him.

"So, you do love him then?" Blake asked, feeling his last hopes for him and Tori slipping out of his fingers.

"Yeah. Yeah, I do." Tori nodded softly. Blake turned away and sighed. He wasn't happy about it, but at least he knew for certain now. Now he wouldn't live with a false hope that maybe, one day, they'd realise they didn't like each other in that way and he might have a chance again. "Are we still okay?" Tori inquired.

"Yeah." Blake nodded, sounding far more sincere than he had when he had spoken to Dustin. Tori smiled and gave him a small hug. He slowly put his arms around her and patted her back lightly. She pulled away after a few pats and smiled at him. He gave her a weak smiled back.

"I...I better get going." Tori said un-certainly.

"Kay." Blake nodded.

"I'll catch you later, kay?" Tori checked.

"Sure." Blake agreed. Tori nodded before slowly turning and walking away. Blake watched her go and sighed. It was going to be hard, but he'd get over it. He turned back to the water again and lowered his head slightly before looking up at the sky forlornly. Yeah, he'd get over it...Sooner or later.

Dustin quickly hurried along the edge of the beach where there were several tufts of grass growing. He knew Tori was already there waiting for him, it was just a matter of finding her now. He paused for a moment to scan the nearly empty beach with his eyes. It was late evening and people were starting to head home. He suddenly spotted Tori coming out of the sea with her surfboard tucked under her arm. He let himself slide down the small ledge of sand and grass and jogged over to where Tori's stuff was. He reached it just before she did and picked up her towel for her. As he shook the sand for it, Tori reached him. The moment she had shoved her board into the sand so it would stand up on it's own, Dustin was at her side, wrapping the towel around her shoulders.

"Thanks." Tori smiled up at him as he lightly rubbed her shoulders through the towel.

"No problem." He replied as he let his arms drop and he sat down on the sand. They remained silent as Tori quickly dried herself off before sitting down next to him. She rested her head on his shoulder and her hand came to rest on top of his. "How'd it go with Blake?" He questioned.

"Not bad. I think he'll be okay. He just needs time to adjust. We all do." Tori answered.

"Shane, Hunter and Cam don't seem to." Dustin pointed out.

"Cam knew it was coming, Hunter probably isn't that bothered and Shane...Well, I don't know about Shane. I think he's just happy for us." Tori murmured.

Silence.

"Hey Tor?"

"Hmm?" Tori hummed lazily.

"You know earlier? At Ninja Ops...When I pulled away...I only did that because..." Dustin stammered.

"I know." Tori cut off, her fingers curling around his hand. "Same here." She admitted, knowing what he was going to say and knowing he was going to apologise for it. Dustin turned his head slightly and smiled down at her. Tori lifted her head from his shoulder and tilted it up a little so she could smile back at him. Gradually, their faces drew closer together and their lips met in a soft, sweet kiss. They held it for a moment before slowly pulling away though their faces still remained close. When they opened their eyes, they both let out silent giggles and they brushed their noses together before pulling each other into another sweet kiss. They stayed where they were until Tori found herself getting too cold. That's when they finally decided to head to their respective homes, but not before a stretched out goodbye and several more kisses.

Dustin watched Tori's van drive out of sight with a huge smile spread across his face. He turned and walked into the apartment building where he and Shane shared a place. He knew he was going to bombarded with questions when he saw him, but he kind of liked that. It he gave him an excuse remember and go over the past two days. It might also help for him to try and make sense of it all. Not that it really needed to make sense. After all, he loved Tori and she loved him and when they both stopped to think about it, they realised that was really the only thing that mattered.

There, all done. This last chapter was actually quite enjoyable to write. I've never written a full fight scene before so I hope it was all right. It was fun remembering all the different phrases they use as well...Yeah, I'm kinda sad lol. I know that the Rangers only say "Locked and dropped, ready to rock" once, (in one of the earlier episodes) but I think that sounds more interesting than the usual "Locked and dropped" so I decided to use that instead :) As for the bit with Blake, I felt his feelings had to be addressed even though I hate writing sad things like unrequited love. So, if you don't think that bit was as angst filled as it could've been and are disappointed with it, I apologise but angst isn't really my department.
Well, that's all from me for this time. I'm probably gonna write a couple of one-shots before I start another series. Definately gonna write a another Tori/Hunter because it's in my system again :) Probably write a Tori/Blake as well since I haven't done one of those for a while. Also, I might try another rare pairing like this Tori/Dustin. Maybe Tori/Shane...I dunno, I'll have to think about that one.
Okay, that's enough ramblings of self-promotion for today :)

Catch you all next time :)
