"Dude! What about us?"
By: (I like feedback!)
The not so original but always needed DISCLAIMER
I don't own any of the characters here presented and/or any of the Power Rangers Ninja Storm stuff, that is property of SABAN and DISNEY, not mine (I wish they were, but...)
Also, If you don't like male/male relationship don't even go further because that's all you're gonna find. One more thing, the sexuality of any of the actors here implied is not of my concern and this is just a FICTION product.
Chapter 3:
Desire Within. Forgotten History.
Hunter, the Crimson Ranger, and Shane, the Red Ranger sat on the couch at Kelly's Store.
It was difficult to Shane how to understand his friend since, well... since what happened that afternoon.
Hunter knew all and every piece of this gigantic puzzle. That was because Hunter was the confessor for Dustin. Every single problem that the Yellow one had after the arrival of the "comic dude", -as they called Evan-, was known by the blonde. They both had a special bonding, since they had similar tastes for the motocross and they were also easier going. Hunter was the one who never treated Dustin as a goof or a dumb. Everybody who knew Dustin, knew how airhead and childish he could be, but Evan and Hunter never really treated like that. They treated him like a real person.
That was why Hunter knew all this stuff. And Hunter told the others what really happened. He wasn't supposed to say it, because it was like a "medical secret", but also he knew that this kind of silence can be broken if the life of the implied is in danger. Well, Dustin's wasn't in real danger, but maybe Evan was.
In the other room, Dustin was sitting in the floor, the boxes and the equipment was stored in there. He locked the door just in case somebody entered, but it had also another entrance, the back door, and he forgot to lock that.
"Why...?"
It was the main thought of Dustin. Just minutes ago, he was lying in this very room kissing with his new boyfriend. They friends suspected he was into boys since the comic dude appeared, but they never paid close attention, because they never thought that Dustin could be that Complicated.
"I can't believe what happened. I mean... I never accept that he cheated on me"
"And why? Maybe I was pushing him too far."
"No... that wasn't. He enjoyed what we did and besides... I told him that if he wasn't sure we could stop"
"I don't think I was that bad that night..."
"No, maybe it was when... It doesn't make freaking sense!"
He looked down to the floor. The tears fall over his shirt. That very pain river was crossing his chicks. And that very river was the one that made him close to his boyfriend.
He was so into his feelings and pain, that he didn't hear the sound of the back door. It was moving and slowly somebody was sneaking into it.
In the other part of the store the guys listened carefully to Hunter. Shane had his mouth opened, he couldn't believe that his best childhood friend was gay! Blake was more serious and was very close to Tori, who was also surprised, but not as Shane. She was hearing all the soap opera that has turned Dustin life the past weeks.
"So the comic dude is not who we think is..." Asked Tori
"Evan, his name is Evan... and well, he really is a ninja from the Stealth Ice academy"
"Stealth Ice... I never heard of that one..." Said Blake
"Well, it's not a school but a very particular way of life... they're mercenaries..."
"What!" The eyes of Shane opened more, in a surprise statement.
"Yeah, Evan, the comic dude, is a ninja mercenary; he earns money from... killings"
"I don't think that he could be... I mean, look at him, he's so skinny and pale, he looks like an outcast but not as a rude badass"
"Yeah Tori" Said Blake, turning his face to her "But appearances may be tricky, and we were all tricked"
"In fact, the Stealth Ice guys are not dangerous. Their school teaches that the sword should never be removed if you're not taking down a life"
"And they're not dangerous" Said Shane in a sarcastic way.
"What they mean is that you can't use violence to solve the things, but if you're going to use it, use it to finish the problem now."
"So, what was this guy doing in our school?" Asked Shane
"Dustin told me that he was running away. All the guys in their family were top leaders of the Stealth Ice Academy, but he never made it, so he ran away" Said Hunter.
He took a breath and continued.
"Even when he knew how to act and how to attack, he never made it to become a ranger of his academy, which is the most honored and top rank. He escaped from his school and told Sensei Watanabe. He accepted him and put him in the group of Dustin..."
Suddenly a couple of shots were heard from the room were Dustin were. Kelly was the first to jump to the door and tried to open it. The rangers ran to the door and they helped Kelly to open. Shane then step back and kicked it. The door fell and all of them were surprised.
