The Coming of the Fire Storm

Chapter 5

Joining Forces

The two stood in a fighting stance, and they pulled out their weapons.

"Salamander bow!" yelled the purple.

"Phoenix daggers!" cried the pink. They both darted towards Tentecruel.

Pink flipped over, and slashed the alien with her daggers. She showed great force for being quite small.

Purple pulled back her bow, and fired a powerful shot. It hit Tentecruel in the gem in his head, and it exploded.

"Catch!" shouted Pink, and she threw a dagger to Purple. Purple pulled back the string once again, firing the dagger at the alien. It pierced one of his large yellow eyes.

"Argh!" it yelled in pain. "I've had enough of this! I'm leaving!" He turned and began to run away.

"Not so fast!" said Purple. "Let's put them together!" They combined their weapons.

"Fire Blaster!" said Pink. "Ready..."

"...Aim..."

"Fire!" they bellowed together. A blast combined of the colours pink and purple was shot at the monster. He screamed, and fell to the ground, before bursting into flame.

The other rangers looked on in amazement. They had never seen anyone fight like that before.

Pink and Purple span around, facing the others. They ran over and helped them up.

"Excuse me for being rude," said Dustin, "but who the heck are you?"

"There's no time to explain," said Purple, and she grabbed Dustin's arm and began pulling him away.

"We must get back to your headquarters," said Pink, helping Tori and Blake.

"You know where our headquarters are?" asked Cam surprised.

"Well, yes," said Purple, "come on!"

"How do we know we can trust you?" asked Hunter suspiciously.

Pink faced Hunter.

"Fine, don't trust us, but you'll regret it."

"Alright, alright," said Shane. "Come on then, let's go."

Once back at Ninja ops, Pink and Purple helped Blake and Tori onto stretchers, as they were in need of treatment. The others sat down on the floor, totally bewildered.

"Okay," said Cam, "let's start with the basics. Who are you?"

Purple looked at Sensei.

"Do you mind if we borrow that scroll up there?" she asked politely.

"Be my guest," said Sensei. Purple reached onto a shelf, and bought down a very old looking scroll, and she opened it.

"According to this, a prophesy was made years ago by the first Sensei of this academy. He says that the chosen ones will be in need of help, and help will come, only when summoned by the power of Thunder." She read out loud.

"Okay," said Shane, "but that still doesn't explain who you are."

"We are your help," said Pink simply. "We are the Fire Storm Ninja Rangers."

The other rangers had de-morphed, and were waiting eagerly for Pink and Purple to do so.

"So de-morph already!" said Dustin.

"Yeah please!" said Tori.

The Fire Rangers exchanged glances.

"If you say so," said Purple. "Power down!"

Instead of the purple ranger, there stood a tall pale skinned woman of about twenty years old. She had straight shoulder length black hair and bright blue eyes and a very cute face.

"Power down!" said Pink.

Where Pink was standing was an average height young woman, looking around eighteen. She had long fiery red hair and tanned skin. She had emerald green eyes and very attractive features.

"Hey!" exclaimed Shane. "You're those chicks from the skate park!"

Purple smiled sweetly.

"Hi," she said, holding out her hand to Shane. "My name is Tammy, and this is my friend Sydney." She ushered Sydney to come forward.

"So, were you checking me out at the skate park?" asked Shane interestedly.

"No, actually," said Sydney, "We were checking out what you rangers did in your spare time. But there was no point following you, as I hate skate boarding."

"Take that back!" said Shane.

"Now, Shane, calm yourself," said Sensei.

"Did you follow all of us?" asked Blake.

"Well, we followed Tori to the beach," said Tammy.

"You know my name?" she said in shock.

"We know everyone's names," said Tammy. "Anyway, after Tori we caught up with Dustin, Blake and Hunter at Storm Chargers. Then we followed Hunter when he went out by himself."

Hunter suddenly realised who these girls were. They had bandaged his leg when his bike was acting strangely six weeks before. He tried to make eye contact with Tammy, but she was talking to Sensei. Instead, he turned to Sydney.

"It was you, wasn't it," said Hunter almost silently to Sydney.

Sydney nodded.

"Why did you bandage my leg?" asked Hunter a little louder, so everyone stopped to listen.

Sydney was about to answer, when Tammy cut across her.

"We couldn't afford you getting hurt, so we helped you," she said.

"You mean, I helped him," said Sydney, sounding a little annoyed.

"Oh yeah! You helped him," said Tammy, as though she had just remembered.

There was silence for a moment, as Blake and Tori got off their stretchers.

"How do we know we can trust you?" asked Blake.

"I thought we had settled this!" said Sydney. "Don't you forget that these rangers had to trust you and your brother to allow you to the team!"

Blake looked a little embarrassed. "Alright you've made your point," he said.

Sydney folded her arms in a satisfied way.

"Well," said Sensei, "there seems to be only one more thing to do. All those in favour of these two young ladies joining the team?"

Everyone raised their hands.

"Just one more thing," said Sensei, "welcome to the team."

Dustin whooped and cheered. Shane and Cam hugged the girls. Hunter and Blake seemed a little left out.

"Have we played this moment before?" asked Blake.

"Yeah," said Hunter quietly, "when we joined the team. It looks like they'll be replacing us."

"Hey guys," said Sydney coming up to them, "you alright?"

"Err, yeah," said Hunter.

"How about we go out to celebrate?" asked Shane.

"Cool!" exclaimed Dustin. "Let's go!" He ran outside, followed by Shane, Tori, Cam, Tammy and Sydney. Hunter and Blake followed reluctantly.
