A/N: Hi All!!! Guess who's back.after my billion year hiatus (due to
mitigating circumstances, *he knows who he is*) I am back with another
chapter. I promise that I will not take so long for the next one.....
A/N 2: I know some people might get a little confused by the new pen name, but I thought it was time for a fresh start for the new year.
ENJOY!
Chapter 4
"Where are they?" the woman whispered to herself from the shadows. If they didn't get there soon she would lose her chance.
"Marah this was such a great idea." Kapri yelled from the dressing room. "While the Kelzaks clear the place we shop 'til we drop." She giggled as she came out and looked herself up and down the mirror. "So what you think, totally retro?" Marah didn't reply.
"HELLO!!!" With the yelp Marah was brought back to reality. "What's YOUR problem? This was your idea!" Just as Marah opened her mouth to try and come up with a reply, she heard the distinct yelling of fighting coming out of the store.
"UH!!! It's the rangers AGAIN!!!" Kapri went outside to watch the action, and Marah followed hoping her plan was going to work.
****Algora****
She was alone. She didn't remember what he said when he left...something about giving her time alone. But she couldn't think of that right now. She couldn't think of anything. The window was so cold, she was sure if she kept her hand on it long enough it would freeze. The lights of the other buildings were beautiful, arrays of hues and neon, reflecting off their glass embeddings that surrounded the buildings. It was so beautiful and so terrifying; she thought her blood might go cold.
As her breath made a fog on the window, she tried to remember...something...she didn't know what. He said she should remember him, but from where, how?
'My friend's call me Turk'
"Turk?...Turk...Oh my God." As she looked into the dark shadows of water and light she remembered...
****FLASHBACK****-5 years earlier
If Dustin found her he'd be SOOOOO pissed. It wasn't her fault. What was she suppose to do let that big ox just wail on him? NO!!! What kinda friend would she be? So she did what she had to, while Dustin was being flung in the air by the collar she went for the place that she knew would hurt any guy...with her surfboard.
So what if they had to run all the way across town...and its not that bad that they couldn't go back to the café to see their friends, they weren't that great of friends anyway (with the exception of Shane of course). Really he over-reacted.
Must every guy she knows have issues with her? She would just like to meet one guy...ONE GUY...who would appreciate her for her, not always have beef wither non-girliness.
"Whatever" was the last thing she said before she hit the waves. At least the waves understood her. She'd never have to deal with their yelling at her for being an embarrassment. Here AT LEAST she would not have to worry about being a very bad friend for saving its butt.
Wave after wave she took with style and grace. She was feeling better, feeling freer, until... "HELP!! HejsdfhksdLP!!" The strangled gargle she heard, but she couldn't see. She wasn't sure how she knew but she jumped into the water, and there sinking further and further she found him.
With all her might, and a push that she couldn't tell where from, she pulled him to the beach. "Hey dude you okay?" She knew he was at least breathe from the coughing, but he seemed so weak. His clothing was strange to say the least, and he didn't look too much older than her... 'Maybe he is doing a play at the high school, but is he swimming with it?' she shook her thoughts trying to focus on making sure he was okay first.
"Do you need a doctor or something?" He started to sit up and shook his head. He looked at her funny, she felt kind of uncomfortable with that stupid look on his face. "I'm fine, thank you. What's your name?" He was cute, WEIRD, but cute. Who knows maybe he just looks freaky. "Victoria, but everybody calls me Tori."
"Well everybody calls me Turk. My real name isn't as lovely though." She smiled and let out a little giggle. No guy was ever like this with her, even if he was a little off, he was nice.
"TORI!!! YO TOR!!! WHERE ARE YOU?! Come on!! I'M SORRY!!! TORI!!!" she heard Dustin's voice calling from behind the bluff. "Um, Turk, that's my friend. I.." she never finished her statement, cause he wasn't there.
She jumped back into the water and swan around bluff so Dustin wouldn't ask her what she was doing. She couldn't explain it. It seemed too surreal, too weird, especially to explain to Dustin.
Dustin apologized, said that he didn't mean to get mad. He said that one day he wouldn't need anyone's help to take down a bunch of bullies, he'd be way too cool, and too great a fighter. He'd be like a Power Ranger. Her response, "Yeah Dustin, whatever you say." But she couldn't help but spend the night thinking about the day's occurrences and if she was really going crazy.
****END FLASHBACK****
"I watched you that day." The voice made Tori jump out of her trance. "I saw you sulk to the beach and look at the ocean like it was your lifeline. You seemed so lost on land, like you needed to go home, where you belong. And when I watched you," he started walking closer to her, "I lost my concentration. See, Algorians can stay in the water however long we want. With the help of these." He held up a black stone by its string and she took it by its end. "But to be effective we must concentrate, free our minds. I lost that the moment I saw you." Her eyes bulged a bit at his admission, "And since that day, Victoria, I have watched you. When I saw you wield the waters a while back, I knew, I knew you belonged with us...with me."
"Excuse me? I...wha...I...?" Tori didn't know what to say. He watched, been watching her for years. 'Wielding water?' she didn't understand what he was talking about. And then it dawned on her...her ninja powers...he saw her use her powers. "You don't understand, I wasn't...I mean I was, but not the way your talking about...those were powers..."
"Didn't you feel it? The connection."
"Yes I feel connection to the water, but I am not the only one from...up there...I mean...UGH...why ME?"
"You saved my life."
"Yeah, but...you're a prince aren't you, a lot people have kept you from trouble, why are ya; picking on me?"
"I did not pick you. You were chosen by the waters, chosen to come to me, to rule with me."
"But I...." he put his two fingers on her lips.
"Please, Victoria. Just remember, think on it, let the waters guide you." He smiled at her and left.
She was shocked, speechless, 'I have to be dreaming. I have to be.' She remembered that day. She knew she felt something, but it was a very girly kind of dream on something that happened so long ago. I mean she was 13 and saved a cute older guy...I mean most girls would go goo goo for that stuff. And the connection was...well yeah it was there.
But it wasn't much. It feigns in comparison to the feelings that she started getting about 6 months ago...6 months ago... "The Anniversary." She hit her head realizing what she was suppose to be doing. Knowing the guys were probably worried about her told her she had to go. "This place blows, this dude is creepy, and they..."she grunted and huffed at remember a pertinent fact... "they have my morpher."
She sat down onto that bed and looked out the window trying to figure how in the hell she was going to get it back and get the hell out of there.
****Back at the Mall****
"Well, Well rangers...came to get your asses kicked did ya'? Kapri said as she jumped down to where the guys were.
"Well, we might be scared. If we haven't beaten you 2 billion times already." Shane said in reply.
"Don't worry ranger, we'll be breaking that streak today."
"Where's TORI?!" Blake lost his cool and tried running past the rest of the team, but they caught him before he attacked.
"Blake, chill out we want to see what they know." Hunter said trying to keep his little brother at bay.
"Oh did the poor little Navy Ranger lose his girlfriend? I bet blondie finally wised up and left you losers. HAHAHA...awwww...or did somebody make little Tori disappear?"
"THAT'S IT!!" Blake got out of his friends grasp and used his Thunder Staff and starting taking down the Kelzaks with an undoubting fury. "Great! I'll get his back. Try and get Kapri." Said Hunter as he ran to go help his little brother. The last three remaining rangers made a beeline for the big mouth villainess staring from the malls 2nd floor. Unbeknownst to them, as the Kelzaks attacked and tried to keep them from getting to their target, Marah appeared.
She waited for her moment, when Dustin was thrown to the ground she him from behind and with a glare of light, the two were gone.
****Algora****
Tori racked her brain on ways to get home. She knew she could probably take most of his guards and dodge the others. But how would she get to the surface? She didn't know how deep it was, but from the lack of light from above they had to be pretty deep.
How would she get to the top? As she put her hand under her chin, she noticed she was still holding something. "The Stone." He said it kept them under water, with concentration. Well she was a ninja; meditation and concentration was a breeze for her. But what about her morpher?
Just as the thought hit her, a feeling hit her as well. Sad, anger, despair, she could feel such a stabbing pain in her heart. And just as the pain made her released a tear she realized where the pain came from, "Blake."
She knew with her realization she could not wait to find her morpher, she had to get to him, he was in too much pain, she needed to be with him immediately. She saw the window and got an idea.
She put her hands together and made her stands and movements as she called on her ninja powers. She was calling the water...calling it to break the glass...to free her...not knowing how much time past she felt the ice cold water touch her toes...just as she opened her eyes the water pressure broke through the glass and it all came flooding in.

-So how was that? I know it took so long, but I promise it won't be so bad next time. I also plan on finishing this within 6 or so more chapters, so it won't be too long either.
Now before I post another chapter I want to know one thing...1) what did everyone think of the new chapter? And 2) what is the name of the person who keeps reviewing as nameless? So here is a challenge, before I post again I want either a review or e-mail from nameless stating who they are (hehehe, I know I m bad, but give me a break, such a fan should be known by something more than nameless)
Alright do what you gotta do.
A/N 2: I know some people might get a little confused by the new pen name, but I thought it was time for a fresh start for the new year.
ENJOY!
