The battle raged on around him, but Blake couldn't hear or see anything but Tori. Something came over him then, and any fear he had was instantly wiped away. He looked down on her and bent to her lips.
"I love you." The words came out softly at first, but then he repeated them. "I love you Tori. Do you hear me? I love you more than anything in this world." At that he broke down in tears as he laid a kiss to her still warm lips.
Lucas stared at his hand and was about to give up hope when the pain he was experiencing seemed to melt away and his hand came back to normal. He looked over to his ancestors and saw that a blue aura of light had gathered around them.
Blake did not see the light from the gem. He was too distracted by Tori's lips gently pressing back to his. He pulled away suddenly and Tori's eyes fluttered open. He then noticed the glowing charm around their clasped left hands.
The light consumed them and started to fade. But rather than disappearing altogether, Tori and Blake saw that the light was now covering their morphers that they had strapped to their left wrists.
Energy filled them and they felt the same rush they had felt when they first received their precious morphers. Tori slowly sat up and looked around. Everyone was running towards them as the creatures retreated back to the surf.
Blake helped her to stand and the rangers all gathered together. "Are you guys alright?" Chad asked. They nodded slowly.
"Yeah," Tori said as she got her balance. Blake held her waist, thankful to whoever decided to give her back to him.
"Not for long," Uric hissed as he landed on the shore.
Instant hatred boiled within the rangers as he walked closer. His remaining minions gather behind him.
"You just had to ruin my plan didn't you Blue Ranger?" he asked of Tori.
Max, being the comedian in the group stared at him. "Which Blue Ranger?" he asked. At that statement Uric became confused and what they all did next scared him straight.
The rangers all lined up. "You ready?" Tori asked as she stared at Uric. The others all nodded and went through their morphing sequences.
"It's Morphin Time!" Billy shouted. "Triceratops!"
"Zeo Ranger 3, Blue!" Rocky called.
"Shift into Turbo!" Justin took out his key. "Mountain Blaster Turbo Power!"
"Let's Rocket!" TJ shouted as he punched in 335 to his morpher.
"Go Galactic!" Kai shouted.
"Lightspeed Rescue!" Chad called.
"Time For Time Force!" Lucas yelled out.
"Wild Access!" Max said into his growl phone.
"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form, Ha!" Tori shouted.
"Thunder Storm, Ranger Form!" Blake yelled.
There was brilliant burst of Blue light that settled when the rangers were finished their sequences. Uric stood in shock.
"10 Blue Rangers!" he shouted. "This isn't possible!"
"Oh yes it is!" Kai said as they all got out their respective weapons. Uric saw no other choice but to fight.
"Attack!" he shouted.
The rangers charged forward and the battle ensued. Billy and Rocky teamed up and took out ten of the remaining creatures. TJ and Justin, Kai and Chad, Lucas and Max, and Tori and Blake did the same and soon all the creatures were gone... leaving Uric all alone.
He stood there with an evil smirk on his face. He knew he was defeated, but he was smart enough not to let them know that. He quickly wracked his brain for anything that could help him, but nothing sprang to mind.
Lucas stepped forward. "It's over Uric!" Lucas yelled to him. "You failed!"
Uric stared at the ten rangers and grinned. "Never!" he cried as his hands came up, lifting Tori and Blake off the ground and over to him.
Lucas stepped forward to run after them, but was held back by TJ. Uric suspended the Ninja Storm Rangers above him. Blake and Tori could slowly feel their airways beginning to constrict.
"Now what are you going to do Lucas? Destroy me and your ancestors in the process? I don't think so."
Blake felt his heart stop for a moment as he realized what Uric was getting at and fought all more to free himself. "Let her go!" Blake cried as best her could.
Uric laughed and increased the hold he had on Tori. Tori struggled from the invisible force on her and felt her morph leaving her. "Keep struggling Navy Ranger and you'll never see her again." Blake and the others were literally helpless at this point.
Tori could feel her morph leaving her and decided that it was time to take matters into her own hands.
"Uric," she gasped. "Let him go and I'll give you what you want." At that statement Uric laughed from deep within his throat.
"I'm having too much fun!"
Tori's face was quickly turning the color of her suit. "I promise I'll give it to you... just put him down." Her head slumped forward and Blake struggled all the more to free himself.
Uric grinned to himself and tossed Blake down, roughly, to the ground. The others ran over to him and watched as he did the same thing to Tori. When Tori hit the sand, her Ranger suit dissolved around her and she struggled to breath.
The male rangers all regrouped and prepared their weapons just in case the rest of their plan didn't work out...
Uric picked Tori up roughly and held the gem in his hands. "At last... it's mine..." he tore it from her neck and threw her into a nearby tree.
"Tori!" Blake cried as the others held him back.
"Just wait, Blake," Lucas whispered to him. "We'll get him."
"Fools! You really thought you could defeat me? Even with 10 of you, no one will ever be able to stop me while I have this," he said as he held up his prize. "Now, to finish the job." He turned to where Tori was lying and gasped... she was gone.
"Where is she?!" he asked more to himself than anyone else.
"Right here." Uric turned back around and saw Tori standing with Lucas, a bright glow came from around her neck.
Uric was dumbfounded. She was wearing the charm that he currently was holding. "How..."
Tori just grinned. "For someone who's supposedly extremely intelligent, this one should be a piece of cake for you."
It was then that Uric realized what they had done... Tori and Lucas shared the same gem, but only one could be used in this time. She and Lucas had somehow managed to exchange them right before they all morphed.
"I've been tricked!"
"Duh," Justin said laughing. Uric was infuriated. He clenched his fist and threw the powerless stone to the sand.
Without warning he struck out at them with everything he had. Laser beams from seemingly nowhere fired at the rangers and they dodged them as best they could. Tori, in her unmorphed state, was waiting for her chance when she saw Uric making a beeline for Blake.
"If I can't destroy HER, you'll have to do!" he cried.
The others were lying on the ground, stunned, as Uric approached Blake. Blake, too, was injured and braced himself.
Tori stepped out of her spot and stood in front of him. Without a word, Uric fired a blast straight at Tori.
A large blue light encased her body and the blast was deflected off of her and right back at Uric, sending him to the sand.
The light was blinding at first and Tori thought that she heard a voice...
'The power of love...'
It all made sense now... the greatest power on earth... nothing could defeat it...
The light faded and the others rushed over to their fallen comrades. Blake stumbled to his feet and leaned on Tori.
"How... what..." Blake stumbled. Tori smiled at him.
"Like you said, nothing can defeat the power of love," she said confidently. Blake smiled inside of his helmet and turned back to the others.
"Let's finish this."
Lucas grinned and together, they all pulled out their weapons. They palced themselves in a circle around him and fired at Uric all at once. Uric writhed in pain as the many different beams of blue light hit him.
Tori ran to where Lucas and Billy had the trapping device. She placed it on the ground in front of her and threw in her own power.
"Power of water!" she cried as a blue beam flew from her hand and into the creature's body.
With one final shout of pain, Uric exploded in a brilliant burst of light that went straight into the trapping device.
Lucas ran over to it and picked it up, smiling.
"I love you." The words came out softly at first, but then he repeated them. "I love you Tori. Do you hear me? I love you more than anything in this world." At that he broke down in tears as he laid a kiss to her still warm lips.
