CHAPTER 5 Reunions and New Surprises
"So how do you think Chloe's doing?" Kira asked a few days later. The group had gathered on Friday to take a surprise trip up to the Thunder Ninja Academy. Hunter was driving with Leila in the passenger side and Kira and Trent in the back seat. Tommy and Kim were driving Anton. He had asked Hayley to come along for some moral support. Conner was in the third car with Chloe as his only passenger.
Hunter had told Blake and Tori the plan. The couple had decided to spend the day at home with Kai and Trini and would convey any new information to Dustin, Shane, and Cam. Ethan and Devin had agreed to run the café for Hayley for the day, with Cassidy's help as a waitress (much to the ranger's surprise).
Hunter glanced between the road and Leila. Leila and Hunter both sighed and glanced at each other.
"As far as we can tell, she's okay. But as you can see, she wanted to ride with Conner rather than us or dad," Leila explained.
"She's seems more comfortable with him, so for now, that's what's important," Trent said. Hunter smirked.
"So, uh, how comfortable do you think those two are?" Hunter asked. Kira smirked, gently placing her hand on her stomach that was slowly growing into a mound.
"I have never seen Conner act like this around a girl," she said.
"That's because the girls usually go to him. This is the first girl he's really gone after first," Trent said.
"And I think everyone's noticed that he's felt a little left out since everyone started to get married or pair off with someone," Leila said. In the second car, Tommy was driving with Kim, whose stomach was the same size as Kira's, in the passenger side and Hayley and Anton in the back seat. Kim looked back at Hayley and Anton. Hayley was holding his hand and looking at him concerned. Anton was staring blankly at the floor.
"How you holding up?" Kim asked of him. Anton snapped out of it.
"I don't know what to think. Even if she was dead, I don't know why Laura or even Leila ever told me about her," Anton said.
"Well, I can't explain it for either of them. But just know Leila and especially Trent are in the same position as you are. Leila has to get reacquainted with the idea of Chloe being back and Trent has to get used to a new sister," Hayley said.
"Be careful Anton, you're starting to get outnumbered," Tommy said jokingly. The comment broke the seriousness of the car into a fit of laughter. In the last car, Conner and Chloe were driving alone. Conner glanced over at Chloe and smirked.
"What?" Chloe asked, smiling. Conner shook his head and looked back at the road.
"Honestly, how do you do that? Know things like when I'm looking at you?" he asked. Chloe smiled.
"It was part of my lightning academy training. In order to train regularly, I had to adapt the senses that I had left to my surroundings. You practice long enough and hard enough, you can do anything without your eye sight," Chloe said. Conner smirked.
"Maybe I should do some blind fold training," Conner said. Chloe giggled.
"I'd pay money to SEE that," she said, obviously joking. Conner moaned and rolled his eyes playfully. A few hours later, Hunter found the right spot for them to stop. He pulled up to the hillside and all the passengers climbed out. Tommy pulled in soon after.
"Where are Conner and Chloe?" Trent asked.
"Don't know. They were right behind us," Kim said. The group looked into the horizon and saw nothing. Meanwhile......
"Conner, what are these things?!" Chloe asked. She and Conner were back to back in fighting stances. A swarm of giant walking, fish men were gathering around them.
"Wish I knew Chloe, but judging by their ugliness, we've got a new one to fight," Conner said.
"What are we going to do? Even I can tell there's too many for just the two of us," Chloe said.
"Take it up a notch. DINO THUNDER, POWER UP!" Conner quickly donned his red ranger suit and started to fight. Chloe couldn't believe what she had heard, but quickly smiled as she started to fight. She had had thoughts about everyone's involvement in the business of being a ranger, but now she knew it was safe to expose herself. After fighting for a little bit, she switched into a morphing position.
"LIGHTNING STORM, RANGER FORM, HA!!" she cried. Conner was shocked beyond anything to see her wearing a silver storm ranger suit.
"How'd she get Blake's power?" he thought to himself. Little did he know that when Chloe morphed, she had a second visionary system in her eye piece that connected to her brainwaves. Her fighting improved beyond imagination, causing the fight to finish in no time. Conner ran over to her and powered down. She followed soon after.
"How? When?....," he tried to get out. Chloe smirked.
"I got it a couple of years ago. I haven't had a big chance to use it, that's why the powers so great. And from what I've been told, Blake has this power now. That's only his secondary power. He's still technically a thunder ranger first," Chloe explained. Conner was still tired enough to have a hard time letting it soak in.
"Uh, ok, let's get to the academy and we'll tell everyone about it then," Conner said. Less than thirty minutes later, Conner pulled up next to the two cars where everyone was waiting.
"Conner what happened?" Tommy asked as everyone hounded them when they got out.
"We've got a new problem. This fish things attacked us out of NO WHERE. I don't know what they are, it's just a clear sign of trouble," Conner explained.
"Are you guys all right?" Anton asked.
"Yea, we morphed and took care of them," Chloe explained.
"Hold up, 'we'? What 'we' morphed?" Leila asked.
"Chloe has the lightning morpher," Conner said.
"But that's Blake's power," Hunter pointed out.
"What's Blake's power?" asked a voice suddenly. The group turned to see Sensei Omano, Laura, and LeeAnn standing just outside where the portal usually opened up.
"This is quite a surprise. What's the occasion?" LeeAnn asked. Trent pushed Leila forward. Leila took Chloe's hand and they walked to their family. Sensei Omano, Laura, and LeeAnn stared blankly at the two for a minute before Laura gasped.
"Oh my...," she whispered. Chloe and Leila both smiled at that. LeeAnn and Sensei Omano turned to Laura and then looked at the girls.
"Hi mom," the two girls said at once.
How will the reunion go? Will Anton say anything to Laura or the others? WHAT were those things Chloe and Conner were fighting? What do they mean? Where is Chloe and Conner's relationship going? What's the deal with her power? Find out in the next chapter.
