Chapter 8: Coming Back

Last Time:

Hunter was quiet throughout the whole conversation and looked up when Sensei came up to him.

"What is wrong Hunter? Is it because of Eren's sudden change?" Sensei said with a whole bunch of wisdom in each word that was spoken.

"Yeah, I guess I feel kind of responsible for this. Sensei, what should I do? I don't want to fight her if I ever come face to face with her. I care too much for her." Hunter told Sensei with sadness in his eyes and words.

Then it hit him, he CARES about her. No, he didn't care for Eren, no he didn't. His feelings were much greater. He was in love with her. He loved her more than life itself and knew it wasn't the love he felt for Amy and the other rangers or Blake. It was I-want-to-spend-the-rest-of-my-life-with-you kind of love.

"Thank you Sensei. I think I know what to do now." Hunter told Sensei.

Sensei nodded and jumped his way back to Cam.

"Guys, I have a plan." Hunter said with determination

Now

On Lothor's Ship

Eren and Marah were on their way to Lothor to give him the "animal power coins". Once they entered Lothor's chambers, Marah walked over to her big sister Kapri while Eren got in front of Lothor and kneeled down. While kneeling, she extended her arms out so that the "power coins" that were in the box were facing him. Lothor took the coins and spoke.

"I'm glad you decided on joining the evil side my dear."

"It was an honor for me, Master Lothor." Eren said with not to much pleasure in her voice. "Look Lothor, we agreed that if I helped you, you would keep those pesky rangers out of my hair. Your plans haven't been working Lothor. I'm still being bugged by them."

"Don't worry my dear, they will soon be destroyed." Lothor said with an evil laugh that made Eren's mouth straighten into a thin line and her eyes role.

After that, Marah and Eren left Lothor's chambers and entered Marah's bedroom. The girls started to talk and while Eren was turned, you could see a strange glint in Marah's eyes as if she was worried for Eren.

At Ninja Ops.

The rangers had gathered around Hunter who had just finished explaining his plan. The rangers agreed to it after Lex and Jo finally gave in and told the group, whatever it took to get their older sister back was ok with them. Hunter was figuring out how to get Eren down from Lothor's ship without getting anyone else to help her. They were already having problems with the Tangas and Lothor's goons but now they had to deal with her and the stolen power coins.

"Cam, Cyber Cam, did you find a good location to call her?" Hunter asked.

"We sure did dude and here's were it's going to be." Cyber Cam said.

"And it is going to be were you first fought, the quarry." Cam said.

"Good. No one will be around besides us." Hunter said. "Let's go guys."

"Ready?" Shane said, bringing his wrist close to his chest.

"Ready!" The rest of the rangers echoed.

"Ninja Storm"

"Thunder Storm"

"Samurai Storm"

"Fire Storm"

"Ha" they yelled together.

Tori and Dustin did the exact same thing as Shane and transformed. The Thunders brought their wrist to the sides and transformed as well. As Cam grabbed his Samurai necklace and transformed it to a baseball sized sphere and turned into the Green Samurai Ranger. Lex and Jo both brought both of their wrists to their sides like the thunders except for the fact that they used both of their wrists and moved just like the Thunders by bringing their right hand in front of them but when they brought their hands to their morphers, they turned (AN: I mean turned as in twisted) the ninja coin.

The next thing, after a swivel of thunder crashing on the Thunders, a Tsunami crashing on Cam, Water on Tori, Air for Shane, and Earth for Dustin, everyone watched the remaining two rangers transform. Fire had engulfed them both and twirled around them like when Sailor Mars from Sailor Moon transformed except their whole body is covered and their not turning into Sailor Scouts. Once they were in their ranger suits, a volcano erupted behind them to show that they are the Rangers of Fire. Once all of them were transformed, they went to the quarry to call for the good ranger turned bad. Once there, they waited and from space, Lothor found them there like sitting ducks. He called for Eren and told her what to do. She nodded her head and went down.

The Quarry

With no hesitation, she raised her hand and a ball of fire suddenly appeared. She let the fire grow until it was the size of a basketball and threw it at the unsuspecting rangers. The ball of fire hit the rangers full on. They were thrown back and out of the smoke came a lone female figure dressed in a pink halter top and denim flared hip-huggers jeans that had the design of pink and red fire at the footing. She walked calmly towards them and sneered.

"What a pathetic bunch. Couldn't you sense my flaming hot flames? Lex, Jo, after all we went throw training to sense each others powers, you still couldn't feel it? How pathetic." She said in sarcasm and furry.

The rangers by then had gotten up and surrounded her. She looked at each one of them and when her gaze landed on Hunter, her eyes blazed with anger, hatred and sadness. Deep down she knew that she loved him but her memories of him with Amy made her angry. As she stood glaring at Hunter, the rangers got ready to attack. Without any hesitation, the rangers sent an attach towards her. The only thing they didn't know was that she would sense the attack. Before she was hit, she did a back flip in the air, avoiding the attacks. Hunter didn't have enough time to avoid the attack because he was still shocked by what she did and was hit with full force of each attack.

When Eren landed, a look of worry flashed in her eyes but was then changed by a look of glee. She was glad that he was hurt but in her heart, she was guilty for being happy of what had happened and what she had done to them. But she ignored that feeling and before the rangers could run to help Hunter, she attacked them without any effort. She had used the strength of all her powers as a Power Ranger from her eternal morpher. Once her attack was done, all eight rangers were down and de-transformed. Hunter then thought of a way how he should fix this to work with his plan since Eren had ruined his plan to work out the first time since she was suppose to feel guilty and help him instead of attacking them. With all his strength that he could muster up, he stood up and walked slowly towards Eren whose back was facing him.

He went behind her and spoke. Even though he was weak he spoke to her. Surprised, she turned around and found Hunter standing a few feet in front of her.

"Eren, I know this isn't the real you." he said to her.

"AND WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT THE REAL ME?!" Eren angrily yelled.

She was furious but he still spoke up.

"Because if this was the real you, then I want the fake you back. If this is the real you then I guess I fell for the fake you." he told her with sadness.

She looked at him. He told her that he fell for the fake her. Then it hit her, he said he FELL as in he liked her for more than a friend. She looked into his eyes and found that he was telling her the truth. Her mind was all confused but that all went away when she heard what he said.

"Eren Matthews, I love you. I know that now. I broke up with Amy because of what I felt for you. If it means I have to work with Lothor to be with you than I will. But remember, I love you." He said with the last of his strength and fell to his knees.

Eren's heart was racing. Lothor's mind control spell was erased from her and she felt all the joy and love that she felt before being taken over by Lothor. Eren ran over to the fallen Crimson Ranger and hugged him close to her. She was crying by the time she got to him, chanting "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" over and over again. By now the other rangers had gotten their strengths back and watched the two rangers. The walked over and found that Hunter had also regained his energy and was holding a crying Eren that had buried her face at the crock of his neck and her hands on his chest. The rangers were happy to get her back, especially Lex and Jo.
In Lothor's ship, he had seen the whole thing and wanted revenge for her betrayal. He took out the "Power Coins" and tried to use them. When the power of the "power coins" did not work, he released that he was tricked. Marah on the other hand was happy for Eren but since she knew of what Eren had done, she went to her room and packed her things. She went down to Earth and went into her civilian form. In a few minutes, she was searching for Eren and found the Matthews apartment. When she knocked on the door, the door opened and she pocked her head inside. She was greeted by the rangers and Eren sitting on Hunter's lap with a smile on her face.

She entered and closed the door, accidentally slamming it. The rangers looked up from their happy new couple and saw Marah. Instantly, the eight rangers' faces went dark and angry. They were going to attack her when Eren got in the way.

"Eren, get out of the way. She's trouble." Hunter said.

"If you want to destroy her than you'll have to destroy me first. She helped me when I was up in Lothor's ship. She was the only person I could trust up there." Eren said.

The rangers looked at her and gave up. Eren smiled at them and turn towards the frightened Marah that smiled as she saw her best friend.

"What's the problem Marah?" Eren asked her friend.

"It's uncle. He's angry. He found out about the little power coin switch that we did on him. He's coming after you and the coins. He may be coming after me now that I've gone against him too." Marah said with worry and fear in her voice.

As the two girls talked, the rangers listened. They were shock that Marah was actually helping them and not trying to trick them like when she tricked Dustin. She knew that they were still angry at her for what she did and knew that even though she had fallen hard for Dustin, he would be angry with her. By now, Marah and Eren were walking towards the others.

"Guys, listen, I'm going to need your help. Lothor is gonna go on this rampage to get the coins back." Eren said as she sat back down on Hunter's lap and had Marah sit next to them.

"But we thought that you gave him the coins." Hunter said.

Eren explained that she had teleported it here after making a copy so because she didn't trust him. She showed Marah to her room so that they would share it and got the coins. She returned the two other coins back to her sisters and explained everything. By now it was late and everyone had finally trusted Marah, but not too much. They stayed at the Matthews and Bradley apartment that night since it was really late. With a kiss goodnight for Eren and Hunter, the thunder brothers, Tori, Shane and Cam went over to the Bradley apartment. Eren showed Dustin where to sleep so that he and Marah would be alone for the night in the guest bedroom.
