Chapter 5
****The Beach****
"What the........." Dustin felt his head throb a bit. He looked up, he was in the forest, exactly where he wasn't sure. He got up from the ground and there she was.
She was not wearing her ridiculous space outfit like he seen her so many times. That outfit made it easier to forget her, to try and deny what he felt for her. In that outfit she was Lothor's niece, and his niece alone. But like this she was, Marah...
He shook his head quickly blocking out any emotions and memories that had come to haunt him in his dreams. He jumped into his fighting stance as he she started to walk closer, "What the hell do you want?"
As she tried to get closer he backed up. She cringed at the deliberate coldness she felt coming off him, but she knew she had to get past that, it wasn't important right now.
"Dustin I need to tell you something."
"I seriously don't give a shit what you have to tell me."
"But Dustin..."
"NO! I won't listen to you this time. You took me for a nice ride last time, but I won't let you do it twice."
Just as he turned to leave she quickly added, "Even if it's about the blue ranger?"
****Algora****
Her chest and muscles became tight. The water was so cold, and the pressure was so intense. She wanted to move but her body didn't let her.
Wasn't the stone to protect her from this, at least for a while? She held onto the stone closing her eyes...meditating like Sensei taught her...but nothing worked.
She looked around but only saw lights below her and a black abyss above her. She tried to swim, to where she didn't know. But she had to move, to do something or she was going to...
As she started to see flashes in the back of her eyes she felt her body being pulled back to where she was trying to escape.
With a large gasp Tori felt the water receding around her as she looked up she saw a large titanium wall slam down to where the window she broke was. The water was being vacuumed out the room-by what she couldn't tell.
She was lying on the floor and continued to blink her eyes as her vision came back into clear focus, she looked around and saw she was still in the room she had just escaped. When she looked up she saw Turk standing over her.
****The Beach****
"Ow! Dustin you're hurting me!" the yellow ranger's grip making her skin flush red.
"What the hell do you know Marah, where's Tori?! WHERE IS SHE?!!!" with a swift kick to the shin and a dash Marah broke free and ran from him only to find herself sinking into the sand.
Turning her head around she saw Dustin concentrating on her spot and knew he was using his powers to hold her. "You've got about 1 minute before I lose control on this and you go completely under, so tell me where Lothor's got her."
"Uncle doesn't have her. And I don't know where she is."
"YOU'RE LYING!!" with his scream Marah felt her being sucked in more until she was submerged up to her chest.
"Dustin PLEASE!"
"Tell the truth!"
"Uncle doesn't have her but he knows where she is. He won't tell us though..."she tried to suck in breath but kept getting caught on sand. When she looked Dustin in the yes the look of anger and pain broke her heart.
"Continue."
"Um...Uncle helped someone capture her. He was talking to the man who took her."
"What were they saying?"
"I heard the man say he would get her to marry the prince and then kill them both to claim the thrown."
"What prince?!"
"I don't know."
"Marah!" She felt the earth begin to pull again.
"DUSTIN, I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW!!" she felt the sand stop, and instead of pulling she felt herself being released and Dustin's hands pulling her out. He was calmer now, even brushing off sand from her back., and for a brief moment she saw the look he gave her so long ago when he was trying to help her.
"Is that it?" He question was almost a whisper as they stared at each other, but powerful enough to get an answer.
"No...she is on Earth...I can't tell you where...but she is here...and she's alive and...and she's safe for now...but Dustin you have to found her, like, now"
"But how? Cam's computers can't even find her, how am I suppose to..."
"The EnCanthra Scrolls...ask your Sensei...he'll know."
"Why are you doing this?" they continued to stare at each other. And Marah, not being able to hold it back put her hand to his cheek and slowly caressed it. Slowly she eased away from him and walked away until she blinked from his sight.
He waited a few more seconds and streaked back to the fight.
****Algora****
"Are you absolutely crazy!" screamed Turk. He was standing over Tori who was coughing out all the water she had swallowed.
"I...I...I can't believe you did!!! How did you do that?! I...I...are you crazy!!!!"
After her last cough she had enough of the yelling. She looked up at him with a glare that could kill an army and swiftly jumped to her feet in front of him.
"AM I CRAZY!!! YOU kidnapped ME!!! Am I crazy for wanting to go home to my friends and family? Am I crazy for wanting to get away form the people who are forcefully holding me captive AND stole my morpher? If THAT makes me crazy than FINE I'm crazy, I'm LOONEY-FREAKIN' TOONS but either way I wanna go HOME!"
"We did not kidnap you. And I told you; you could have your morpher once you were better. Damn it Victoria! I brought you here to be a Queen, do you know how many women wish for that."
"HA! First if you haven't realized I'm not most women, than you really don't know damn thing about me! And second, for someone who is so desperate to marry me they sure do know how to irritate the shit out of me.
"I mean the only people who call me Victoria were elementary school teachers and telemarketers. You have absolutely NO idea who I am. What's my favorite type of ice cream? What kind of music do I listen to? What's my mother's first name? YOU know nothing about me. Can't answer? I wonder why? Maybe its because you met me once for about...FIVE MINUTES. I mean, PSYCHO MUCH?!"
"I know this." With those quick words he pulled Tori's face to his and kissed her hard. He felt her pushing back, but only let go when she loosened her grip. Satisfied that she gave in he let go. "Now tell me you didn't feel that."
She look at him and a smiled crept on her face. He was about to shout for joy, he thought he finally broke through. That she saw what was between them. He looked at her smirk and didn't notice- until he felt it of course- Tori's right fist hit his jaw.
