Chapter 6: Truth

Tori and the gang all rushed out of her room and down the hall to find Dustin. Questions had raced through each of their heads, just as they thought they understood everything, even more complex news comes up. Tori was tired of it, she wanted things to be clear once more. Bursting through the large door, they entered the base headquarters where are the computers were. Some of the soldiers were cleaning the broken glass that Dustin was thrown into. The brunette was holding a folder, he turned to see the others stopping and looking at him.

"Okay." Cam pointed his finger, "You mind telling us what is going on."

"Yeah!" Everyone began to shout, "Stop leaving us in the dark." Tori added.

"What do they want with Sakura!" Shane asked, "How did they know our moves." Blake's question came up right after.

Dustin held up his hand to calm them all down, "Slow down." He shouted over their voices, "It's none of your concern. Don't worry about it."

"Dustin!" Marah took a step forward, "Were your friends. Let us help!"

"Yeah, I'm worried about Sakura." Tori pursed her lips, "We got to get her back."

Blake glanced at her, "You seam to really like her."

"She reminds me so much of me." Tori forced a smile, "Like were related."

Dustin rolled his eyes and turned away, Tori got the look and arched her eyebrows.

"What?" She spun him around, "Why did you turn away."

"Because Tori." He sighed a bit, "She is related to you."

Her jaw dropped, "What!?"

"She's you're your future great beyond granddaughter."

Hunter snorted a bit, he tried to keep is laughter in as Tori kept a shock look on her face. The brunette glared at him.

"Not funny Hunter." He spoke up, "She's related to you too."

Hunter choked on his laughter as Tori's eyes widen more. Dustin turned away and walked up a step and towards the computer. Marah and Shane glanced at each other, unsure what to say to the news.

"How is that possible?" Cam was a bit confused, "That would mean..."

"According to the history records." Dustin turned his neck, "They will have a child 5 years after college."

"I have to get some air." She turned and walked out.

Hunter shook his head, he left quickly a few seconds after, giving everyone concern looks. Cameron walked over to a computer and looked down at it. Thinking about the promise to help restore their powers, he decided to hold up on it. Seeing how they weren't going home anytime soon, he should do all he can to help Dustin. Shane walked a bit forward, standing beside the brunette. Dustin looked at him.

"Those Ninjas were crossed between Wind and Thunder ninjas. How is that possible?"

"Those strange attacks I told Cam about." He began to explain, "Were the results of the ninjas. When I first became King, I tried to open up a Ninja Academy. I meet this girl, she was one of the last surviving Thunder Students. I was the last Wind Student. The two of us ran a academy together, but after she died the academy became corrupted and lost control."

"You lost control of your students, because you weren't ready to be a Sensei." Shane pointed out, "Did you not think of the consequences."

"Hey." He turned to get a better view of him, "Who do you think you are? I shut the academy, but the Ninja split themselves in fractions. It's not my fault."

"It was your responsibility."

"And I ran I the way I wanted."

Shane sneered a bit as Dustin walked off. Marah chased after him as Blake turned to see what Cam was doing. The Red Ninja Ranger sighed as he leaned against the computer panel, wondering what to do. He watched as Cam and Blake talk, he did the best to pull everything together. It was just all so confusing.

Hunter walked down the hall, he let his hand drag against the wall as his mind wondered. He turned the corner and noticed Tori standing their out in the balcony on the other end of the hallway. Crossing his arms, he leaned against the wall and sighed. The two of them having a baby. That was too much. He liked her, but he didn't think she would ever feel the same way. Guess being the future, tells you a lot of what will happen in the past. Questions began to wonder, did they ever get married? How did their relationship work. Sighing deeply, he pushed himself off the wall and down the hall towards the door. Opening it up, he walked out and stood beside her. She turned and looked at him, she had a weak smile but the awkward silence was a bit too much for them

"How you holding up?" He cracked a bit.

"I'm alright." She rubbed her arms, "It's just so strange."

"What is?" He arched his eyebrows, "That she's related to the both of us?"

She nodded, "Just looking into her eyes, reminded of me. I didn't think possibly that she would be my future great granddaughter."

"More like great great great great great and for the heck of it, another great granddaughter. I mean this is 3056 or something right?"

"Yeah. At least it's nice to know that my family line is still continuing." She smiled, "Even if it's with you." She smirked.

"Ouch." He laughed a bit, "It's just too much."

She turned to him, her smile faded away, "You do know that.. Even if we had a kid together, that this might not be our future."

"What do you mean?"

"We always learned of destiny, and how we can change it right?" She began to explain, "Well, this is just one way our future can turn out."

"Are you saying you don't want to be with me in the end?"

She sighed, "I don't know." She looked at him, "I mean, I don't know where my feelings are right now." She replied, "And to tell you the truth, who knows what will happen now that we know that were suppose to have kids. What if things change, this effected us, does that not effect our future?"

"It hasn't now." He looked out in the city, "Nothing changed."

"Not yet. We haven't left this time zone." She just shook her head, "Don't take this offense Hunter, but who knows what will really happen. I love Sakura, she's a wonderful girl, but if I find out more of what happens to me in the next few years, I don't know if I will actually take that path."

He slowly nodded, trying to comprehend, "I get it." He turned and began walking away, "I was just one possibility in your life right?" He turned to look at her once more, "And you don't want to accept that possibility. I was just the wrong turn on a long road."

"That's not what I meant." She tried to reason.

Tori took a few steps forward, but Hunter left with haste, leaving her standing there alone. She rubbed her arms once more, trying to fight back the tears and the confusion running through her mind.

Shane scratched his head as he watched Cameron do all these technological things that he never really understood. Blake and Shane watched patiently as he tried to hack through the computer, it seamed like he was looking for something."

"I wonder if I can find our history records." He adjusted his glasses, "It's interesting how the government evolved and kept tabs on us."

Blake took a step forward, looking down at the computer screen, "Maybe it was just Dustin."

"Hey!" Shane pointed, "It's my name! Click it!"

Cam did just that. The screen changed and a picture on the right hand corner of Shane appeared. Large amount of information began to show up, and Shane red it closely. He found a few things he liked and a few things he didn't.

"Sweet." Shane read.

Shane read how he won 5 skating tournaments and had been sponsored by all the best magazines. He then read how he got married, but his smile faded away when he read how his wife hit him with an SUV for not emptying the dishwasher after being asked 19 times while skating out in the streets.

"Bah." Shane looked away, "That was lame."

"Is this accurate?" Blake looked up at him, "If so, Shane should start listening to his wife."

"Nah, Im not even going to get married." He shook his head, "This is crazy."

"Find my record." Blake asked, "I want to see what happens to me."

Cam nodded and looked around, but he couldn't seam to find his name. After a bit of searching, he found it hidden in cluster of files. Opening it up, he quickly scrolled though. Becoming a moto champ, etc etc. The stuff he already knew, he then went down to something that caught everyone's attention. It read:

June 25th, 2014

Arrested for assault and attempted murder.

"What the heck?" Blake reread it, "Who would I kill?"

Cam scrolled down farther till he found an image of Hunter. Cam read the information and looked back up at Blake.

"You tried to kill your brother."

He just laughed, "That can't be right. These things aren't historical. There false."

"You tried to kill him over the jealousy of Hunter and Tori being together."

"No." He insisted, "I would never do that."

"But you did." Cam pointed, "You snapped."

Blake shook his head and left the room, leaving Shane and Cam alone in the room. The red ranger moved towards him.

"What about you?" He asked, "Going to check your information."

Cam looked at him and hesitated, before glancing back at the computer. He clicked towards his name and began reading his information...
