'Jeez Cam where have you been?' asked Shane throwing down his towel as Cam and Dustin joined the other rangers on the beach.
'Cam here was fooling around with Tris,' declared Dustin with a wide grin.
Cam smacked the yellow ranger's shoulder. 'Dustin!'
'Hey man, I'm just telling it like it is,'
'When did this all start then?' pried Hunter leaning up onto his elbows.
'Last night, sort of,' explained Cam honestly.
'What do you mean sort of?' asked Blake frowning.
'It doesn't matter,' answered Cam feeling that it wasn't really any of their business.
'Okay, well it's cool that your together, at least now you can stare at her without creeping anyone out,' taunted Shane.
'Sensei?' said Tristen quietly crouching down by Sensei's house.
'Yes Tristen, is there something on your mind?'
'Yes. I wan't it to stop.' she declared miserably.
'Want what to stop?'
'The bounty hunters, but to stop them I have to destroy Pyralis,'
'I agree, but he is strong, too strong. if you were to fail and the amulet falls into his hands the fate of the world is at stake.'
'I know,' she said irritably, 'but I can't live like this and I don't want to put the ranger in danger, especially Cam,'
'What are you proposing?' asked Sensei.
'There's only one thing I can think of, if I were to absorb the Life Force powers it would give me enough strength to fight him,'
'No, I forbid it,' said Sensei gravely.
'But there's no other way, he's going to keep coming after me, he's already attacked Cam and I this morning right outside Ninja Ops!' she argued back.
Sensei looked at her his eyes showing an emotion she had not seen in him before.
'I forbid you to do it, you could die and then you will put the world at risk.'
'You're not listening to me, the scrolls say the powers are too strong for a human body to handle but I've lived and used them for the last ten years. In the fight this morning and at the club I used what little power the amulet alone could provide, I know how to handle them and I know that I can defeat Pyralis with them!'
'The amulet channels them, their full force could destroy you!' shouted Sensei angrily.
'It's a risk I'm willing to take!'
'No we shall find another way, the rangers...'
'The rangers are useless against his bounty hunters and they will fall against him!'
Sensei fell silent, he knew what she said was the truth.
'I worry about you,' he said more quietly, 'and Cam does too, if anything happened to you I do not know what he would do. he has loved you longer than you realise.'
Tristen looked down and sighed.
'I have to do this, it's the only way,' she said softly.
'I know,' relented Sensei.
