Chapter 19
Power of the Apocalypse
Tori, Dustin, and Shane held their ground as Torrance came closer, knocking down any other rangers who got in his way.
"Now it's time to pay," Torrance growled.
"Couldn't we just add it to our tab?" Dustin asked. Blake and Cam watched helplessly from the sidelines, doubled over in pain from being thrown by Torrance. Cam breathed heavily and frowned.
"Do you feel something?" he asked Blake.
"Yea, I wish I knew what it was though," Blake replied. Torrance charged at the wind rangers and they fought back as well as they could. In the middle of the fight, they experienced the same mysterious feeling Blake and Cam had, but they too were unsure of what it was. Meanwhile, Brian and Trent had just finished freeing all of the students from the bottom floor and they were rushing out to the field grounds. Brian stopped for a second and sensed something in the air.
"What is it?" Trent asked.
"Chloe," Brian said out of concern.
"What is it? Is she okay?" Trent asked, nervous.
"You go out and help the others. I'll find Chloe, I'm sure she's fine," Brian said. Trent hesitated but rushed out to the ground. Hunter and Scott ran behind the students as they filed out of the academy. They too stopped in the middle of the stairs and became concerned.
"Leila," Hunter said.
"Chloe," Scott replied. Meanwhile, on the main floor, Leila was pounding at the office door.
"CHLOE!! Open the door, now!!" Leila screamed.
"Let me ram it in!" Conner said to his future sister-in-law.
"NO!! You have no idea how the bomb is put together in there, you might set it off by accident. Get outside and help the others!!" Leila ordered.
"NO WAY! I'm not leaving Chloe!" Conner said.
"Look, something is going on here. I don't know what but it's only something storm rangers can deal with, NOW GET OUT OF HERE!!" Leila ordered, staring Conner down. Conner hesitated but finally gave and ran out of the academy, realizing that as much as he loved Chloe, he had to put his duties as a ranger above that and his duty was to get out of the way of the storm rangers. Just as Conner disappeared from her sight, Brian, Scott, and Hunter appeared. Just when they ran up to Leila, the door to the office opened a little and they carefully walked in. Back outside, Tommy, Anton, Kira, Kim, Hayley, Ethan, Devin, Laura, LeeAnn, and Sensei Omano watched horrified as Tori, Shane, and Dustin got the crap beaten out of them.
"Do you sense that dad?" Laura asked.
"Yes I do. The girls are doing it," Sensei Omano.
"Doing what? What are the girls doing?" Anton asked.
"Bringing hope," LeeAnn answered.
"WHAT HOPE DO ANY OF YOU HAVE?! The academy will blow at any minute, I'm winning!" Torrance declared as the others saw Tori, Shane, and Dustin sprawled over the ground. Suddenly, a blast of energy erupted from the academy, shaking the grounds but the building did not fall.
"What? What happened?" Torrance asked, mainly of himself.
"This happened," Shane said. Torrance looked at him but was knocked off his feet by a low spinning heel kick from Tori. Conner came up behind Ethan and Devin and helped to their feet.
"What's going on?" Conner asked.
"You probably know more than us," Devin said.
"Yea, you were in the academy," Ethan said. The guys watched as Blake and Cam lined up with now reenergized Tori, Blake, and Shane. They turned back to the academy and watched as Brian, Scott, Chloe, Leila, and Hunter ran out and ninja streaked towards them. The freed students were scattered all over the place, making their way towards the battle.
"What did you do? That place was supposed to be destroyed!" Torrance declared.
"Just because you corrupted the place doesn't mean it can't be restored," Leila said.
"Same goes for my parents," Chloe said.
"What are you talking about?" Torrance asked.
"They were beyond saving, true, but that doesn't mean there wasn't good left in them," Brian said.
"There last act was placing a lost gem of hidden ninja power in the bomb. With the mix of Chloe's energy and the eruption of the bomb it was released," Scott added.
"And just what is this so called power?" Torrance asked, not extremely frightened. Brian, Scott, and all of the storm rangers went into a series of motions until their arms were linked and light energy was erupting from them.
"POWER OF THE APOCALYPSE!!!" they cried before swinging their arms around and firing ten energy beams at Torrance. Just as his father had done, Torrance was destroyed but the power of goodness.....the power of nature.....the power of the storm rangers. The power of the beams erupted after destroying it's intended target, sending everyone flying backwards. Trent was one of the first ones to come to. He came to his senses and looked around quickly. The first person he laid eyes on was Kim. He rushed over to her.
"Kim...Kim...are you okay?" he asked, desperate to know if she was all right. Kim came too quickly.
"I'm okay," she said before placing her hands over her belly protectively.
"Ugh, Trent?" he heard a voice call. He looked over and saw Kira slowly getting up. He rushed over and enveloped her in a protective hug. Slowly but surely, all the rangers and their associates came too. They walked over, making sure everyone else was all right. Leila woke up and the first thing to thought of was to check her stomach. Then she looked around and met Hunter only a few feet away. They hugged each other and kissed each other passionately. They looked around and watched the Lightning students gathering together.
"Where's Chloe?" Leila asked. Conner woke up and grabbed his head in throbbing pain. He slowly got up and came to his senses, remembering what happened. He quickly scanned over the area, finally seeing Chloe, still out of it. He crawled over to her and scooped her into his arms. She slowly groaned and opened her eyes, cracking a smile when she saw him.
"Did we get him?" she asked. Conner smirked.
"Yea, it's over," he said before leaning down and kissing her.
WELL, THE FIGHTING IS DONE BUT WHAT IS TO COME WITH ALL THE CLEANING UP? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE LIGHTNING ACADEMY? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH KIM, KIRA, AND LEILA'S PREGNANCIES? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH CHLOE AND CONNER'S WEDDING? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!
