Chapter 3
The Beach
"What do you mean the rope is cut?!" Blake looked at Cam confused. "The rope didn't break someone deliberately cut it." Cam rubbed his finger over the rope's end to show the flat, perfectly cut surface. This admission made Blake even more concerned about Tori. "That's it I'm going back in." Blake went to reenter the water when Hunter stopped him again holding his brother back. "BRO! You can't go back in there." Blake and Hunter began a shoving match and as Hunter thought he was finally slowing Blake down; that was until his younger brother tackled him to the shoreline. Blake working with nothing but instinct ran for the water. As he was making his dash a sharp pain strike the back of his neck and he felt himself slow down and all of a he blacked out.
Algora
"YOU!!!" Tori leaped across the distance between her and the man she recognized as the one who attacked her. With her fist in the air she punched his right side of his face and continued her assault. She was furiously and relentlessly beating him. "You bastard! I'm going to kill you."
*FLASHBACK*
It was four in the afternoon and Tori decided she needed to cool off before meeting with the guys. The excitement was killing her, 'they are going to be so surprised." She smiled at the thought of their faces as she retrieved her surfboard from her van. While making her stroll to the water Tori thought about all the fun she would be having tonight. The guys all really deserved a break from the fighting and constant battles. They all needed more than just their few precious hours of quick relief through their various extreme sports, which Cam didn't even have, but a night of total forgetfulness and entertainment. Tori knew that no matter how much she wanted it for them Lothor could still be the butthead he always is and ruin her plans, but she was going to at least try. Tori got into the water and all her thoughts and anxieties about the upcoming night washed away as she dove into the water with her board.
Tori and the ocean always had a deep connection, one that she always remembered having. She was not at all shocked when Sensei told her she was a ninja of water, she knew that when she first entered the Wind Ninja Academy. It was like the ocean was a companion, through the good times and bad, it would always be there for her to washing away everything, making her free.
Tori saw a perfect swell and prepared to claim it with all her skill. She was stoked when she nailed it. When it died down she threw dropped into the water and as she was making her way back to the top for another round she felt something grab her leg and pull her in the other direction. She turned to see a man pulling her to him as he continued cutting the rope connecting her to her board.
Tori did not panic she just began to meditate. Calling upon her ninja powers, Tori commanded the water to release her from her captor, and he was pulled away from her by a rip tide. Tori began to swim to the top, but again two other men held her back. When things began to become dark and her lungs became tight, Tori realized her time was up.
*END FLASHBACK*
It took a few minutes and many guards to get Tori off of him. Even when they were removing Tori off of him she got in a few kicks with the spikes of her high heels.
The man who came in with Tori's punching bag finally interjected, "GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" By this acclamation the men released her, and Tori out of shock stop fighting. "EVERYONE OUT!! You men take him to the infirmary." He commanded as he pointed the bruised being on the ground. Everyone made their way out by his command, leaving Tori alone with him. As the door slid shut, Tori did not know what to make of him.
"You are quite some warrior." He said as he chuckled and put a smirk on his face. "To think out of all the warriors my General expected to have given him his first defeat I don't believe he expected it to be one in a skirt." He continued looking Tori over. Her hair, which was once tied back by the call maid, was now loose and flowing. Her skirt had ripped and now split open revealing her right thigh and leg, "and not one so beautiful." He felt his attraction grow even more solid as he saw the fierce look she was giving him.
Tori put a smile on her face, "you were impressed by that huh?" He gave her sly smile and nod. "Well then you will love what I'm about to do to you." She said as her smile turned into pure sarcastic attitude. "Now you can either give me some answers, or you're going to see a repeat performance of what I did to that asshole, PERSONALLY!" He grinned at her; he loved her fire. "As you wish, what would you like to know?"
Tori put her hand on her hip on picked up her hand and started counting off her fingers, "OK, FIRST, who in the hell are you? SECOND, where is MY morpher? THIRD, why am I here? And lastly for now FOURTH, where in the hell is Algora?!"
Back at Ninja Ops
Blake opened his eyes, He was dazed, the last thing he remembered was he was running into the water and then...... "TORI!" Blake jumped up from the cot he was on and realized he was feeling a bit woozy. He also realized he was in the back room at Ninja Ops. He walked outside seeing his brother, teammates and Sensei waiting there. He heard Dustin cough as to alert everyone of Blake's presence. He slowly walked toward everyone and stopped far enough making sure to keep his distance. "What in the hell happened to me?" Blake asked looking straight at his older brother. "I had to hit you with my tranquilizer dart." Said Cam from his computer, making Blake turn his attention to the man in green.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Blake yelled as he made his way towards Cam. Shane got up from his chair and sprang in the middle of his two teammates. "Blake Chill." He said as he stopped Blake's angry pace. "I had no choice Blake, you were out of control." Cam said getting up from his own seat. "YOU AIN'T EVEN SEEN OUT OF CONTROL!" as Blake once again started trying to get close to Cam, Shane pushed him back. "Bro, you need to stop this, you're not helping anybody, especially Tori." Hunter said as he got behind his little brother. Blake's face turned red, Hunter could swear he saw smoke coming out of his ears. "I'M NOT HELPING TORI. I am the only one doing anything to try and find her. I'm not the people behind a desk and computer acting chicken shit instead of going out there and finding her. I hope Tori knows what kind of friends she really has." He retorted to the boys.
"SCREW YOU BLAKE." Blake's head turned to see Dustin come off the sidewall he was leaning against, "you think you're the only one who's hurting around here. We are all trying to find her, but instead of concentrating our full attention on her we have to deal with you and your temper tantrums. At this point I wouldn't give a shit if you went and got yourself killed, at least then we could focus." Sensei then dashed up and hit both young men on the head as he ended up back on the table. "Tori needs you." He said sternly looking both at Blake and Dustin, "she needs all of you, and you shall not find her unless you can all remember you are a team." With those words Blake and Dustin's rage subsided.
"But Sensei, I can feel her there, I can feel her in the ocean. I don't what it is, but I know she's there." Blake told Sensei with saddened eyes. "I didn't find any traces of her in the water," Cam said breaking off Blake's attention to his father, "we did find her van though, it was parked up the beach, Cyber Cam analyzed it and the tracks it made. He placed the last time she used it anywhere from two to five o'clock. Cyber Cam is now running a test on the rope, he is trying to find any remnants of what cut it." Before Cam could continue the alarm went off and they all turned to the screen, "Marah, Kapri and some Kelzaks are attacking the mall." "I know you are all distressed about Tori, but there is still a job that each of you have to do." The guys looked at Sensei then at each other knowing what they had to do. Hunter could sense his brother's reluctance. "Hey Bro, come on, if they know anything we can grab them they might know where she is," Blake looked at his brother knowing his brother was right, "and if they don't then we can kick the crap out of them anyway. Come on, you know Tori would want us to stop them." Blake nodded at his brother and then at Shane given him the okay.
The boys got into position and Dustin and Shane yelled in accord, "Ninja Storm!" "Thunder Storm!" Blake and Hunter followed. "Samurai Storm!" Cam continued and in unison they all finished, "Ranger Form, Hah!" and with the words spoken the five of them were gone.
Algora
"To answer your first question my name is Anketurk, I am Prince of Algora. But most of my friends call me Turk." Tori really could have cared less. "Secondly, if you are referring to the device found on your wrist, it was removed and placed in safe keeping." Tori was prepared to say something but he beat her to it, "I promise you it will be returned to you in due time."
"Thirdly, you should know why you're here Victoria." He said very complacently, "You do not recognize me at all?" He said as he modeled himself to her trying to get her to remember. She looked at him with a look of both confusion and disbelief. 'What kinda crap is he trying to pull?' she thought to herself, but her thoughts were interrupted by his continuation, "Do not worry, you will remember with time." Her eyes widen at his last statement, 'Pigs will fly in a frozen hell before I stick around here' she contemplated to herself. "Now about your fourth question, you want to know where Algora is."
With a wave of his hand another wall starting sliding open, but this time it wasn't a door to an entrance, it was glass. But there was nothing to see, it was almost totally black. "Have you ever heard the story of Atlantis?" with another wave of his hand lights began to go on in other rooms and buildings.
The darkness, turned into a blue-green shade and when she saw the fish swim by and the seaweed on the ground the only thing she could say was, "looks like I'm not in Kansas anymore."
TBC.............
